AL Divisional Series
Season Series: The Guardians and White Sox emerge from the same division, and in 13 matchups this season, Cleveland won seven and Chicago won six — about as even as it can get.
What To Know: The White Sox swept the Astros in the wild-card round, winning both of those games on the road. The last time Chicago won a playoff series — back in 2005 — it went on to win the World Series.

Odds, what to know for the Guardians-White Sox ALDS series.
Season Series: In their 13 regular-season games, the Rays won seven and the Yankees won six. However, New York won four of the last five matchups between the two.
What To Know: The Rays went 5-2 against the Yankees at home during the regular season. Will home-field advantage play a part here? It’s possible. Consider this: Tampa Bay was tied with Milwaukee for the best home record in baseball during the regular season, while the Yankees had the third-best road record in baseball, behind Milwaukee and the Dodgers. Buckle up.

NL Divisional Series
Season Series: The Padres won the regular season series against the Brewers 4-2. Milwaukee took two of three at American Family Field in May, but San Diego answered with a three-game sweep at Petco Park in August.
What To Know: Last season, the Brewers beat the Cubs in the NLDS before getting swept by the Dodgers in the NLCS. Meanwhile, since 2020, the Padres have now made the playoffs five times. But like Milwaukee, San Diego has continued to fall short, as it has only made the championship series once, back in 2022.
