Major League Baseball Divisional Series Projections

With the Wild Card games completed, we're down to 4 teams in each league.

American League
Kansas City Royals vs. Los Angeles Angels
The Royals are the feel good story remaining in the postseason. The Angels finished with the best regular season record in the majors. Kansas City is happy to still be active at this point. The Angels have higher aspirations.

Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles
The Tigers are consistently in the postseason. The Orioles cruised through the AL East this season. Detroit has a strong starting pitching rotation but Baltimore seems to be on track for a memorable season.

National League
San Francisco Giants vs. Washington Nationals
Lots of great starting pitching on both teams. The Nationals had the best record in the National League but the Giants are playoff-battle tested.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
The Cardinals are often referred to as a model organization. The Dodgers have spent tons of money to add talent in recent years. These are two iconic franchises with great playoff histories. If the Dodgers bats don't go silent, home field advantage may be the difference.
