Nothing compares to baseball in the playoffs.
Twelve teams advance to the MLB postseason following an exciting regular season. The postseason lasts for five weeks, during which one club will lift the World Series trophy.
After winning it all the previous season, what might Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers have planned for their comeback? Los Angeles will have to compete in the Wild Card series despite not earning a first-round bye, so the journey there will at least be more difficult than it was the previous season.
There are many superstars, and Ohtani isn’t the only one. As he leads the flaming Yankees in their quest for their 28th championship, Aaron Judge seeks atonement after a rough October of the previous season. As baseball’s newest home run champion takes center stage, Cal Raleigh will attempt to keep the Mariners’ historic season going. After their own magical carpet journey of a regular season, what will the Brewers achieve?
With an extensive schedule for each round and TV and live stream details for every game, Sporting News prepares you to watch the 2025 MLB postseason.
