Road to the 2019 World Series
Another long MLB season has come to an end. All 162 regular season games (and a couple of 163s) have been played. And as of this writing, just 10 remain with a chance to take home a World Series championship. Two-thirds of the league's teams have packed it in and headed home for a long winter of wondering what might have been and awaiting the arrival of next spring and the ever-present hope that that season brings.
But now, it's time to look ahead to what this postseason might have in store for us.
Rather than trying to put together a series-by-series breakdown, let us take a general look at the respective championship chances of all 10 remaining teams, ranking their World Series likelihoods in ascending order.
It's all guesswork, obviously – heck, if I knew anything, I'd have gotten more than six out of the 10 playoff teams right in our MLB season preview back in March. I feel reasonably good about these new rankings, so this list will almost certainly turn out to be laughably inaccurate.
But hey – fortune favors the bold.
(Note: As of press time, the two wild card games had yet to be played. Thus, all four Wild Card teams are included on this list.)
