The 2024 MLB postseason kicks off on Tuesday, October 1, featuring all four Wild Card Series matchups, leading into a thrilling five weeks of high-stakes baseball. There are plenty of exciting storylines this October. After making history with a 50-50 season, Shohei Ohtani is set for his postseason debut with the Dodgers, who await their opponent in the NLDS. However, the path through the National League will be challenging, as the experienced Phillies, with home-field advantage, aim for their second World Series appearance in three years.
In the American League, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto are back, leading the Yankees into the playoffs after a one-year absence. The competition is fierce, and New York may need to overcome their postseason rival, the formidable Astros, to advance.
