The postseason of Major League Baseball reaches its most dramatic point this Thursday: six teams will play decisive games in three best‑of‑three series, all tied 1‑1, guaranteeing a day packed with tension and entertainment in the so‑called best baseball in the whole world.
In the National League, the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs will vie for a spot in the next round, with the reward of facing the Milwaukee Brewers, who await the winner of this series.
In the same league, the Cincinnati Reds fell last night to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have already advanced to the next round and are looking to defend their World Series title in 2025, and will now face the Philadelphia Phillies.
In the American League, the Cleveland Guardians will square off against the Detroit Tigers, and the winning team will meet the Seattle Mariners in the next round.
Meanwhile, the Yankees and the Red Sox will stage their traditional rivalry‑laden duel; the winner will face the Toronto Blue Jays.
With all matchups set, Thursday’s slate will be a true “do‑or‑die day” in Major League Baseball, where only the teams that win will stay alive on the road to the World Series.
