2024 MLB playoff predictions: ALCS, NLCS expert picks as four teams vie for chance at World Series title

The 2024 MLB postseason continues with drama and spectacle for all. Four teams remain after the Phillies, Royals, Padres and Tigers were eliminated in the League Division Series.

The NLCS kicks off Sunday as the Mets square off against the Dodgers. The Mets clinched their berth on Wednesday and have had several days to rest and recuperate for the first time in weeks. The Dodgers, on the other hand, fought until the last day, beating the Padres in Game 5 Friday. The ALCS opens Monday between the Yankees, who ousted the Royals on Thursday, and the Guardians, who took down the Tigers Saturday.

As such, your CBS Sports MLB experts are here to predict how each of the best-of-seven series will go. We’ll leave the playing to the athletes. We just get to do the judging.
