PBN’s 2024 MLB Playoff Predictions
The 2024 MLB playoffs are upon us.
After the New York Mets won an electrifying first game of a doubleheader and the Atlanta Braves won the back-half on Monday, the playoff field is now set. 12 teams have their eyes on the World Series trophy.
Last year’s improbable matchup featured the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks with the former winning their first title in franchise history. Neither pennant winner from a year ago is in the playoff picture this season, however.
Because of that, MLB will not have a repeat champion yet again. The last time a team won consecutive World Series champions ships was the New York Yankees from 1998-2000.
In this year’s playoffs, the Yankees are the top seed in the American League while the National League goes through Los Angeles and the Dodgers. The full playoff bracket can be found HERE.
