A New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies World Series? Snooze. Any World Series involving the San Francisco Giants? I’ll pass on that one, and thankfully with the teams involved in the 2017 MLB playoffs, fans can, too.

The teams in MLB’s 2017 postseason are not the ones fans have grown accustomed to over the years. Only 13 other teams have participated in the World Series in the last 10 years. This year, nine of those teams didn’t make the playoffs. It’s not your parents’ teams winning anymore. 

This is due to the young, emerging talent from teams that are not used to being in this position. Many are former dud teams that got higher-up draft picks, which gave them phenomenal players, but it’s something greater than that too.

The teams involved in this year’s playoffs are the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks. These teams are hungry for a win and the icy feeling of champagne showers that most of them have only been able to experience through SportsCenter highlights. 

The Cleveland Indians—the number one seed in the American League—are favored to be in the World Series again. If they win, that means the two teams who have had the longest championship droughts, the Indians and Cubs, would win in consecutive years. 

This 2017 postseason is finally the refreshing revival the league has desperately needed.
