MLB playoff power rankings: All 12 teams by chances to win World Series

Key Points:

• The Los Angeles Dodgers are favored to win the World Series, boasting strong pitching with Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and a potent lineup featuring Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernandez, and Kyle Tucker.
• The Tampa Bay Rays, despite questions about their power hitting and pitching depth, are seen as a top contender with a strong regular season and a challenging ALDS matchup against the Red Sox or Yankees.
• The Milwaukee Brewers, making their eighth postseason in nine years, rely heavily on ace Jacob Misiorowski and promising young pitchers, aiming to capitalize on their 103-win season.
• The New York Yankees have a deep starting rotation and a powerful lineup, though the absence of Aaron Judge in the early rounds could impact their chances; their bullpen performance will be crucial.
• Other notable teams include the Cleveland Guardians with strong starting pitching but weak offense, the Philadelphia Phillies relying on their pitching staff despite offensive struggles, and the Boston Red Sox as a volatile but potentially dangerous team.
