Preview/Prediction

The table is far from set for a pair of league championship series, as the 2015 MLB postseason is producing a memorable divisional round that has every team fighting for their playoff lives.

How important is winning Game 3 of the National League Division Series? Not quite as important as you might think. Of the 10 previous best-of-five series, nine arrived at Game 3 with the series deadlocked. The team that emerged victorious went on to advance to the National League Championship Series five times. 

Falling behind 2-1 in the series isn't ideal, but those numbers at least offer some hope for the club that loses Monday night's meeting between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.

We are already two games deep into each of the four Division Series matchups, and there are plenty of questions that need answering.

The Texas Rangers have stormed out to a surprising 2-0 lead on the Toronto Blue Jays with the series set to head to Arlington, while the other three series are all split 1-1 heading into a crucial Game 3.

The American League side will be back in action on Sunday, with the Kansas City Royals set to take on the Houston Astros at 4:00 p.m. ET and the Rangers/Blue Jays game following that one at 8:00 p.m. ET.

The American League Division Series resumes Sunday with both teams from Texas inching closer to a Lone Star showdown in the League Championship Series.

The Houston Astros are looking to overcome a late loss on Friday and break a 1-1 tie against the defending AL champion Kansas City Royals at Minute Maid Park, where they posted the majors’ fifth-best home record (53-28). 

There's nothing like October baseball. As fall ushers in a seasonal shift, it signals a change in Major League Baseball with the game's elite beginning their quest for a World Series title. 

With the division series rolling on, the American League takes center stage on Sunday with one team on the cusp of clinching its place in the AL Championship Series. 

One road team has already snatched the early momentum in a pair of National League Division Series that look primed to go the distance entering Saturday's Game 2 action.

If Game 1 sets the tone for an entire series, the St. Louis Cardinals sent a serious message Friday night when they dominated the Chicago Cubs 4-0.

John Lackey continued his brilliance at Busch Stadium as he allowed just two hits over 7.1 scoreless innings, and the one-two punch of Kevin Siegrist and Trevor Rosenthal slammed the door on a three-hit shutout.

The Cubs offense will look to get back on track Saturday against left-hander Jaime Garcia, who has been equally impressive at home this year.

Four MLB playoff games will take place on Friday in what could be a wild day of baseball, so make sure you are prepared for all of the action.

Between the two Wild Card Games and the start of the division series, road teams are currently 4-0 in the 2015 postseason. This caused early exits for the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates, while the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals are on notice after falling behind in their series.

Less than one week into the 2015 MLB postseason, the road teams have debunked any home-field advantage.

After both away clubs advanced past the Wild Card Games, the road sides remained undefeated Thursday. The Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre to open the American League Division Series, and the Houston Astros topped the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium to also take a 1-0 edge.  

On a full day of playoff baseball, the National League takes the Friday night shift to commence both NLDS matchups.

After eliminating the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs will now fight the St. Louis Cardinals for NL Central supremacy. Two veteran starters will collide to kick off their first-ever postseason meeting.
