Season 162 Postseason Predictions
October baseball is back on Franchise Ball, with the eight best teams in each league squaring off this fall for a shot at a coveted championship trophy.
Many storylines look to unfold as each team looks to write the next redeeming chapter in franchise history. The majority of these stories will end in heartbreak, but when the dust settles, the remaining thirteen teams left standing will join the wildcard winners for a chance to play on the road to the Season 162 World Series!
Some squads will be making their playoff debuts, while others will be looking to build on the dynastic runs they’ve made. The Pasadena Pinkies are one such ballclub that have taken the game by storm in recent years, and they’ll attempt to add a fourth straight league title to their trophy case in Delta Premier. On the flip side, the Toronto Masters will be looking to end an 18-season championship drought dating back to Season 144. As for the Charlotte Magic, they’ll be looking to make a cakewalk through Azure River on their way to punch yet another world playoffs ticket, their seventh in the past ten seasons. As the saying goes, the world is your oyster, and it’s anybody’s game to win in the postseason on Franchise Ball.
