Brewers feeling the heat? Ranking playoff teams by World Series pressure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Which playoff team most needs to win the World Series? Repeating an exercise we do every fall when the MLB postseason is about to commence, we will try to determine how much immediate pressure each championship hopeful is facing. What builds the pressure to win now? The answer is a little different for every team, and the weight of that pressure changes each passing season. Players age. Free agents leave and arrive. Playoff disappointments pile up. Playoff absences chafe. Our Pressure Index form

Read excerpt
So your team missed the playoffs. There are worse things, right? Their 2026 MLB season is ending in disappointment, but there are some positives, too.

Just like that, here we are with the playoff season bearing down on us. As we look forward to October, that most eventful of baseball months, we can start to put a bow on the regular season. While it isn’t quite over yet, we can identify things about each team that have gone well this season, and others that have not. We do this exercise every year, and it is a good chance to look for the successes and disappointments left behind in the wake of each team’s campaign, as viewed through the prism o
