The American League Division Series of the 2024 Major League Baseball season playoffs are defined. The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians finished with the best record and rested during a wild card round full of surprises.
The Detroit Tigers entered the postseason on a roll and stunned the Houston Astros by eliminating them in two games. The first game was won thanks to the arm of Tarik Skubal while manager AJ Hinch opted for the bullpen in the second. The ninth Texan will not play in the AL Championship Series for the first time since 2016.
The Kansas City Royals had one of the best performances in 2024 after being one of the worst organizations the previous year. The team managed by Matt Quatraro took advantage of a quality start by Cole Ragans to win the first game and excellent work by his relievers in the second, with an unstoppable RBI by Bobby Witt in the sixth to advance to the Division Series.
Now, The Tigers will face the Guardians and the Royals will face the Yankees in the ALDS. The first matches of the respective series will begin this Saturday. The Kansas City and New York teams have not met in the postseason since 1980.
