CBS Sports analysts predict Division Series as 2026 MLB playoffs start

CBS Sports analysts issued their predictions for each of the four League Division Series as the 2026 MLB playoffs began on 2 October in the United States. Earlier in September, analysts noted that division leaders and wild-card contenders were solidifying their positions, with the Cleveland Guardians, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres poised to clinch spots while six clubs had already secured postseason berths.

The Philadelphia Phillies later clinched a wild-card berth and the Houston Astros captured the AL West division title. Power-ranking releases placed the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers as the top contenders, and MLB announced the Division Series pairings and game times for early October.
