There's nothing better than playoff baseball.
After a thrilling regular season, 12 teams move on to the MLB postseason, beginning a five-week stretch that will culminate with one team hoisting the World Series trophy.
What might Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers have in store for an encore, after winning it all last season? The road there will at least be longer than it was last season, as Los Angeles had to survive the Wild Card series after failing to earn a first-round bye.
Superstars abound, and we're not just talking about Ohtani. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s heroics led the Blue Jays past Julio Rodriguez, Cal Raleigh and the Mariners and back into the Fall Classic for the first time in decades.
The Sporting News gets you set to watch the 2025 MLB postseason, with TV and live stream information for every game and a complete schedule for every round.
