Who is the Team to Win in October

There are only four team left in the Major League Baseball playoffs that hope to make it to the World Series.

In the ALDS, the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals are playing each other with the Royals leading the series 2-0.

Both American League teams have not made it to the World Series since the mid 1980s. The Orioles and Royals hope to start a new tradition and compete every year for a World Series Crown.

The Orioles have a very sound team with J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, and Wel-Yin Chen.

With the Royals they have Mike Moustakas, Billy Butler, and Lorienzo Cain leading the charge.

The Royals have not lost a postseason game since the 1980s.

In the NLDS there is the Saint Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants left playing with the Giants leading the series 1-0.

The Cardinals look very promising by making it the NLDS the last four seasons. The Cardinals have a very good pitching staff and look very lively on offense with its big slugger, Matt Adams.

The Giants are as equal as the Cardinals in its style of play. They have a stout pitching staff and play makers all around the diamond. They share the load on offense with Pablo Sandoval, Buster Posey, and  Brandon Crawford.

All four teams look good enough to win the World Series.
