Results, schedule for each round of the World Series

The 2024 MLB Playoffs are nearing a dramatic conclusion that may end with an incredibly rare Subway Series.

For the first time since 2000, the New York Yankees and New York Mets have secured their spots in the LCS round of the postseason. On Wednesday night, the Mets secured a spot in the National League Championship Series by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in four games. A day later, the Yankees were on top, edging past the Kansas City Royals with a third win in their best-of-five series and securing a spot in the American League Championship Series.

Their respective opponents will be determined this weekend. The other two division series have gone to Game 5, with baseball fans seeing win-or-go-home matches on Friday and Saturday. The Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres in the NLDS final on Friday, and the ALDS series between the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers will be decided on Saturday night.

Here’s the latest playoff round, schedule and results as the 2024 MLB season heads toward the World Series.
