The World Series matchups baseball fans should be rooting for this October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If your team is one of the 12 in the postseason, congratulations! If it's not, there are still some matchups that would certainly make this upcoming World Series fun to watch even for those with no skin in the game. We already ran through the pairings that every contender's fans are quietly hoping for; this is the version with the numbers attached. Two stats carry most of that weight. wRC+ measures total offensive value against a league-average hitter, where 100 is average and anything above it
How the Dodgers overcame glaring weaknesses to clinch a playoff spot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Tarik Skubal on the mound and Kyle Tucker going deep, the Dodgers clinched their 14th consecutive playoff berth on Monday, beating the Reds 4-1 to tie the 1991-2005 Braves for the longest active postseason streak in MLB history. It came a day after our latest MLB Power Rankings had them locked in a battle with Milwaukee for the top spot in the sport, and they did it with Shohei Ohtani, their two-way superstar, on the 15-day IL with biceps inflammation and no return timetable, and without Ro
How the Yankees made the playoffs with Aaron Judge in his chambers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was something poetic about a wet, soupy night in Minneapolis for the New York Yankees. For three months, the Yankees tried to survive without the best player in baseball.

Read excerpt
In most successful rebuilds, there's a season everyone looks back on as a sign that said everything is a go — this team is ready to make some noise. And then there's the Chicago White Sox, a team that lost a modern-day record 121 games in 2024. Two years later, they are leading the AL Central, without much of any progress in between. Which begs the question: How? Where exactly did this come from? How does a team go from being a complete also-ran to cruising toward a division title? And is this C
Why the ABS system could haunt MLB's division leaders come October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The ABS challenge system has an intrinsic reward component. The teams that understand the strike zone and hold the arbiters accountable are the teams that can use the strike zone to their advantage. A catcher with a good read on the zone can challenge a ball call that should have been a strike and turn the count back in the pitcher's favor. A batter with that same read can do the reverse, confronting a strike call that was questionable and keeping his at-bat alive. It's the same underlying skill
