5. Toronto Blue Jays
Why They're Dangerous: Toronto claimed the AL’s top seed and enters the playoffs riding a four-game winning streak. Their clinching 13-4 blowout was a reminder of just how explosive this lineup can be. If the bats stay hot, the Blue Jays could be the American League’s toughest out.

1. Milwaukee Brewers
Why They're Dangerous: The Brewers just put together the best season in franchise history, leading MLB with 97 wins and a +172 run differential. Their pitching staff remains one of the league’s deepest, and getting All-Star closer Trevor Megill back for October gives them a lethal weapon for high-leverage innings.
2. New York Yankees
Why They're Dangerous: Few teams are hotter heading into the playoffs. The Yankees closed the regular season on an eight-game winning streak and posted MLB’s second-best run differential (+164). That mix of momentum and underlying dominance is the perfect recipe for a deep postseason run.
3. Philadelphia Phillies
Why They're Dangerous: The NL East champs won 96 games, powered by an MLB-best 55 home victories. Citizens Bank Park has been a fortress all year, and the Phillies have a lineup built to thrive in October. Outside of a potential NLCS clash with Milwaukee, the road to the World Series runs through Philly.
4. Los Angeles Dodgers
Why They're Dangerous: The defending World Series champs are once again loaded for October. LA won 93 games despite early-season rotation woes, which are now stabilizing, and boasts a star-studded lineup led by Shohei Ohtani, who crushed a franchise-record 55 home runs. When their pitching clicks, the Dodgers are truly menacing.
5. Toronto Blue Jays
Why They're Dangerous: Toronto claimed the AL’s top seed and enters the playoffs riding a four-game winning streak. Their clinching 13-4 blowout was a reminder of just how explosive this lineup can be. If the bats stay hot, the Blue Jays could be the American League’s toughest out.
