Preview/Prediction

While the Kansas City Royals remain ahead of the Baltimore Orioles, the American League Championship Series is still not over.

Kansas City was hoping to take a commanding lead of the series with a home game Monday, but the action was postponed due to rain, as noted by Sports Illustrated:

The series will now be pushed back, with Game 3 taking place on Tuesday and, if necessary, Game 5 taking the spot of Thursday's scheduled off day. 

After a 29-year exile from October, the Kansas City Royals are on the verge of sweeping past the Los Angeles Angels and storming into the American League Championship Series. 

The Royals are taking apart the Angels, the team with the best record in the regular season, thanks to a combination of unreal speed, perfectly timed home runs and lights-out pitching. With Game 3 of the American League Division Series looming at 6:37 p.m. ET on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, the Angels are sitting in an 0-2 hole. 

It's fair to say that Game 1 of the National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals did not go as planned.

The best pitcher in the game and the likely NL MVP, Clayton Kershaw, faced off against another bona fide ace and true gamer in Adam Wainwright. All signs pointed to it being a classic pitcher's duel, but that couldn't have been further from the truth.

Both National League Division Series got underway Friday, with the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals each emerging victorious and taking 1-0 series leads in a pair of one-run games.

Saturday features all four Senior Circuit clubs battling it out once more, as the Nationals and Dodgers look to tie their series up before they take to the road.

Here's the information you'll need to view Saturday's contests as well as a preview of each game.

With Saturday being a day off for the American League Division Series, all four AL clubs still alive in 2014 will get a day to prepare for their all-important Game 3s.

The Tigers and Orioles are heading back to the Motor City, where Detroit's backs are already against the wall as they trail Baltimore 2-0 in the best-of-5 series.

In other ALDS action, the Royals and Angels jet to Kansas City after KC earned a crucial sweep in Anaheim that has this series knotted at a surprising 2-0 Royals lead.

The 2014 MLB postseason has already brought plenty of intrigue, with several wild finishes taking place. With both matchups on Saturday having their respective Game 1s decided by a single run, expect more of the same.

When San Francisco Giants starter Jake Peavy toed the rubber in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Washington Nationals, he was winless in five postseason starts with an abysmal 9.27 ERA and a fitting 1.925 WHIP.

Well, Peavy and his teammates walked off as winners thanks to his efforts, generally solid relief pitching and timely hitting from Joe Panik, Buster Posey and Brandon Belt. It was a huge win for the Giants.

A riveting second day of the 2014 MLB playoffs saw both National League Division Series commence. The Washington Nationals and San Francisco Giants went toe-to-toe, as Jake Peavy defeated Stephen Strasburg in a pitchers' duel. On the other side of the coin, the St.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers pitted aces Clayton Kershaw and Adam Wainwright against each other in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. As practically no one expected, each pitcher was peppered, as the Cardinals emerged victorious by a score of 10-9.

Jake Peavy and the San Francisco Giants barely came away with a 3-2 victory in Game 1 against the Washington Nationals. Game 2 on Saturday promises to bring even more fireworks with a huge pitching duel.

Much like Friday's matchup, a veteran starter for the Giants will face off with a young hurler for the Nationals. Tim Hudson, 39, will do battle with Jordan Zimmermann, a 28-year-old who has one start in the postseason.
