The 2025 MLB playoffs are well and truly underway, and the first Wild Card games are already behind us. While we can't necessarily draw conclusions from these early games, that doesn't stop us from looking ahead.
So, without further ado, here are the Passion MLB team's predictions for the finalists in the next World Series and the winner of the big trophy.
At first glance, it's safe to say that the Philadelphia Phillies are the favorites to win the World Series. The divisional series they are likely to face against the Los Angeles Dodgers could well turn out to be the National League Championship Series before its time.
On the other side of the spectrum, the American League looks a lot more open, with the Seattle Mariners the favorites to make it to the Fall Classic. The New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians, who are currently backed into a corner, are our columnists' other choices.
The team with the best record in America, the Toronto Blue Jays, is nowhere to be seen. Will they be able to confound the doubters?
