The 2025 MLB postseason has delivered blowouts, nail-biters, and shocking performances as teams battle for the World Series. With the Wild Card and Division Series rounds wrapped up, the League Championship Series (LCS) is well underway, showcasing the best of October baseball.
In the American League, the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays are locked in a fierce ALCS showdown. The Mariners came out strong to a 2-0 series lead with impressive wins. 3-1 in Game 1 and a 10-3 blowout in Game 2. However, the Blue Jays came back in Game 3, crushing Seattle 13-4, and followed up with an 8-2 win in Game 4 to even the series. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Andrés Giménez have been offensive powerhouses, carrying the offense to keep Toronto alive.
Meanwhile, in the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers have asserted their dominance over the Milwaukee Brewers. They are currently up 3-0 in the series and show no signs of slowing down. If the Brewers want to keep their World Series hopes alive, they have to get things figured out fast. The Dodgers look determined to return to the World Series and defend their title.
The postseason began with a dramatic Wild Card round, including a three-game showdown between the Mariners and Tigers. The Tigers edged out the Guardians in a tight 2-1 victory. At the same time, the Yankees and Red Sox reignited their rivalry in another high-stakes matchup.
As the LCS continues, fans are treated to the best of October baseball. The World Series is set to begin on October 24. If the trend continues, we might end up with another battle between a huge market team and a team that has never won a World Series.
With the final four teams showcasing incredible talent, the 2025 MLB playoffs are shaping up to be one for the books. Whether it’s the Mariners chasing their first title or the Dodgers aiming for back-to-back championships, there is plenty of excitement in October baseball.
