After an excellent first elimination round, the Divisional Series will kick off today (Saturday) for the eight remaining protagonists.
And just as we did for the Wild Card Series, Passion MLB's columnists took a look at the upcoming duels. Here are the results:
Cubs vs Brewers
Charles-Alexis Brisebois: Chicago in 4. The Brewers are struggling in the playoffs. However, the Cubs need to win quickly if they want to get out of it.
Félix Forget: Chicago in 4. The Cubs' offense seems to be back, and it's going to play tricks on the Brewers, who are used to floundering in the playoffs.
Maxime Trudeau: Milwaukee in 5. The Brewers didn't finish first in MLB for nothing.
Pascal Harvey: Milwaukee in 4. The rivalry between the two clubs will be revived and the Brewers will take on the Cubs thanks to their reliability on the mound and an underrated offense.
Sébastien Berrouard: Chicago in 5. Although the Brewers do all the little things, their lack of power will sink them.
Yankees vs. Blue Jays
Charles-Alexis: Toronto in 5. The rest really did John Schneider's team good.
Félix: New York in 4. Facing only right-handed pitchers will be a big advantage for the Yankees, who will always have their best line-up on the field.
Maxime: New York in 4. The Blue Jays will win their first playoff game since 2016 and this will be their only consolation.
Pascal: New York in 5. Although the entire country is rooting for their beloved team, I favor the Yankees because their starting rotation has fewer question marks right now than their opponents.
Sebastien: New York in 4. The Yankees' power will be the difference against a pitching corps that lacks depth.
Dodgers versus Phillies
Charles-Alexis: Philadelphia in 5. We can expect five close games, but the Dodgers' relievers aren't up to the task.
Félix: Philadelphia in 5. This will be a duel of the titans, but the Phillies forward will give the Dodgers' horrible relievers a run for their money.
Maxime: Philadelphia in 4. The Phillies' offense will make short work of the Dodgers' relievers.
Pascal: Philadelphia in 5. I've been seeing Rob Thomson's team in my soup for a few years now, and despite the loss of Zack Wheeler, the Phillies are going to eliminate the Dodgers.
Sebastien: Los Angeles in 5. The loss of Zack Wheeler will hurt against the Dodgers' experience and starting rotation.
Tigers vs Mariners
Charles-Alexis: Seattle in 4. The Tigers don't have the Mariners' resources on the mound, even if Tarik Skubal does exist.
Félix: Seattle in 4. The Mariners have quite a bit more firepower than the Guardians, and the Tigers will soon feel it.
Maxime: Seattle in 5. The Tigers will thank Tarik Skubal for giving them a chance to win the series, but one player can't win it alone.
Pascal: Seattle in 5. The Mariners have had a chance to heal their wounds, and not even Tarik Skubal can slow down Cal Raleigh
Sébastien: Seattle in 4. The Tigers will win Tarik Skubal's departure, but it will be all against a very complete team.
