Happy first day of the MLB playoffs to all!

Even though three teams from the National League Central are in the field, the Pittsburgh Pirates failed to make the cut for the 10th straight season.

But as part of our yearly tradition here at Pittsburgh Baseball Now, our three-man staff each submitted our predictions for how the postseason will unfold.

Last year, the World Series featured the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees, with the former crowned as champions. Both teams are back in the playoffs this season, but all three of us at PBN are predicting a new champion in 2025.
