The Detroit Tigers rode the back of great starting pitching from Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, knocking off the pesky Oakland A's in five games. They'll need the same to beat an even tougher Boston Red Sox team.
The Red Sox advanced past a tough Rays squad that didn't go without a fight. The Sox got some bounces in their favor, but outplayed the Rays and finished them off in four games. This team is for real, and they're going for it all.
VS.
In the NL, the Los Angeles Dodgers continued their winning ways by beating the Braves three games to one. In games one and four, the Braves had no answer for the ultra-talented pitching of Clayton Kershaw. He was lights out, and if he continues to pitch this way the Dodgers will have a chance to beat the NL's best team in St. Louis.
The St. Louis Cardinals were pushed to the limit by their rivals from Pittsburgh but they did what the Cardinals do in the postseason. They battled through, and won. They've always been a scrappy team and find themselves in a tough series against a skilled Dodgers team.
VS.
Game one between the Dodgers and Cardinals will go Friday, October 11 at 7:30pm CT. While game one between the Red Sox and Tigers will go Saturday, October 12, at 7:00pm CT. Both are a best of seven series.
