As MLB Playoffs Near, a Potential Fall Classic Showdown Between Judge and Ohtani Looms Large


The Major League Baseball playoffs are approaching, and a potential World Series matchup between Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge is generating excitement among fans and TV executives. Ohtani and Judge, two of the sport’s top sluggers, play for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees respectively, adding to the intrigue of a possible showdown.

In the American League, the Yankees, Cleveland Guardians, Houston Astros, and Baltimore Orioles have secured playoff spots, while the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers are vying for the final wild card spots. In the National League, the Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, and San Diego Padres have clinched spots, with the New York Mets, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Atlanta Braves fighting for the last wild card positions.

The postseason features a best-of-three wild-card round format, and ties in the standings will be resolved through mathematical tiebreakers. While rule changes like the pitch clock and infield shift ban will be in effect, the “ghost runner” rule for extra innings will not apply in the playoffs.

The Dodgers are the current favorites to win the World Series, followed by the Yankees and Phillies. Wild-card rounds will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC, with later rounds split between FS1, TruTV, TBS, and Fox. The postseason schedule includes the wild-card series from October 1-3, division series from October 5-12, league championship series from October 13-22, and the World Series from October 25-November 2.

The potential postseason matchup between Ohtani and Judge promises to be a thrilling conclusion to an exciting MLB season.
