In the American League, the Cleveland Guardians eliminated the Tampa Bay Rays and moved on to the New York Yankees, losing in five games in the Divisional Series. Meanwhile, after shocking the Toronto Blue Jays and entering the postseason in 21 years, the Seattle Mariners faced the Houston Astros in the ALDS and were swept. The Astros won another four games against the Yankees and recorded another sweep in their playoff run.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies swept the St Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card Series and shocked the defending champion Atlanta Braves to face the San Diego Padres, who beat the New York Mets and also stunned the top-seed Los Angeles Dodgers. After an awe-struck performance by Philly Bryce Harper, the Phillies defeated the Padres in the NLCS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Game 4 of the ALCS saw the Yankees put on a nice performance, but it proved to be no match for the Houston Astros at the plate, as Jos\u00e9 Altuve and Yordan \u00c1lvarez recorded two hits and Jeremy Pe\u00f1a decided the game with a three run homer. The lethal batting portrayed by the Astros has brought them to their fourth World Series in the past six years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile in Game 5 of the NLCS, Bryce Harper recorded another magical, clutch moment in MLB postseason history by bombing a 98 mph fastball down and into the left field stands, hitting one of the most memorable and crucial homeruns in his career. Harper has been nothing short of excellent this postseason. The Phillies have been waiting for Harper to lead the team in the playoffs ever since signing him in 2019, and Harper has just done that; averaging .419 with 5 homers and slugging .907, the new \u201cMr. October\u201d looks to continue his career-defining performance and send the Phillies to their first World Series since 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n
