MLB Playoffs 2014 Schedule, Games List: World Series 2014 Could Include Giants, Cardinals, Orioles, Royals?
The MLB Playoffs are officially in full swing, with 10 hopeful teams once again hoping to win the World Series, but as we all know, only two teams are going to advance to the big game this season, and there is a long way to go before the final two teams are figured out, and before we know who will contest the World Series 2014.
Last Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates was defeated by the San Francisco Giants. That victory makes the Giants one of the favorites to go all the way this season. They have had a strong season, although at times they have had some inconsistent patches. They will want to put all those inconsistencies behind them and keep moving forward with momentum and consistency if they want to power through the Playoffs this season.
Meanwhile last Tuesday, the Oakland Athletics was knocked down by the Kansas City Royals, eliminating the team. That puts the Royals through to the next round. They also have had a good season and will feel confident that this could be their season.
In other news, the ALCS will begin on October 10 while the NLCS will begin on October 11. The World Series, on the other hand, will begin on October 21 and will as usual feature a first to four, best of seven game series.
