The New York Yankees are the top seed on the American League portion of the Major League Baseball postseason bracket and they'll face a gauntlet from the Central division: the Yankees face the Kansas City Royals to reignite a long-standing AL rivalry while the Cleveland Guardians are doing battle with the Detroit Tigers.

Now it’s time to see who stars in the Division Series. The best-of-five round starts today, featuring series between the Royals/Yankees, Tigers/Guardians, Mets/Phillies and Padres/Dodgers. The four winners advance to the League Championship Series that begin Oct. 13.

Pete Alonso was one of the stars of Major League Baseball's Wild Card Series round, hitting a three-run homer in the ninth inning on Thursday night to lift his New York Mets over the Milwaukee Brewers for the series win.
