But it's already league championship series time, after last night wrapped up to Divisional rounds. let's take a look at the matchups.
ALCS - Kansas City vs Baltimore
Baseball fans might have laughed you out of the building if you forecasted this matchup months ago. The plucky Royals look to knock off another favorite while the Orioles look to further improve on their resume having already secured the 2nd - best record in the AL and knocked off Detroit. Turns out Kansas City's offense might play right into Baltimore's strength and this series could feature some really tense matchups. The Orioles power offense even without Machado, Crush Davis, and Weiters should prove too much for KC especially at Camden Yards.
Prediction: Orioles in 6
NLCS - St. Louis vs San Francisco
