Major League Baseball (MLB), which played the opening fanfare of the league in March, will end its run in the regular season and start its fall baseball season. The 2019 postseason will start with the National League wild card game between Milwaukee and Washington on Tuesday and the American League wild card game between Oakland and Tampa Bay on Thursday, followed by the NL's Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta, St. Louis, Houston, New York Yankees and Minnesota.
As the team plays 162 games in the regular season, there are bound to be a team that stands out among the postseason clubs. In particular, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a strong lead with 107 wins this season, the most wins in the MLB, and 106 wins in the NL. Houston became the most winning team after defeating the Dodgers and the New York Yankees in the NL due to the ball's stability, including a special starting trio that led to Justin verlander and Gerrit Cole. The Dodgers have secured the position of the best player in the NL with stable pitching power led by hyun-jin ryh, and Clayton kershaw. Both teams have many strengths and lack noticeable weaknesses, making it easy to picture the Houston-L.A. Dodgers face each other in the World Series.
But Autumn Baseball doesn't allow such an easy prediction. In terms of MLB postseason results over the past decade alone, the 2013 series between Boston and the St. Louis Cardinals has been the only two teams to face each other in the World Series. Five out of 10 teams had suffered a setback in the middle of one of the two biggest wins in the two major leagues, and the fourth team failed to reach the final stage at all. This means that MLB postseason is a stage where there are so many variables.
Competitors are also equipped with weapons that can challenge the dominance of the most. In the AL, Minnesota and the New York Yankees, who have hit more than 300 team home runs apiece, will challenge for the presidency with explosive power. Oakland and Tampa Bay, which play wild card games, also have strong defense and offensive skills like Altanta. The NL also has its own colors, the St. Louis Cardinals with stable pitching power, Atlanta with balanced balls, Washington with explosive hits, and Milwaukee with powerful bullpen.
On top of that, this year's postseason is more exciting for MLB fans here after two korean Major Leaguers.hyun-jin ryu, who won the NL ERA title by creating a sensation in the league all season, will be a key starter for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Choi Ji-man of Tampa Bay, who has emerged as the strong center hitter for the postseason team,where he used to play in the minor leagues, is also raising expectations.
