The way the American League Champion Series shaped-up may be a surprise to many MLB betting fans. Nothing could’ve predicted an outcome like the one we’re witnessing right now. Having a team like the Royals, which hasn’t got to this stage of the postseason since 1985, pitting against a squad like the Baltimore Orioles is not what many had in mind at the beginning of the season. But you can’t really say the same on the National League side, where the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals have been in a contending position for quite a bit in recent years.
Now the Giants travel to St. Louis for the first match of the series on Saturday night. The game is a rematch of the 2012 NLCS, when San Francisco rallied from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Cardinals on the way to their second World Series title in three years.
Now, the Cardinals weren’t really expected to get here, especially as they had to face the Dodgers pitching ace Clayton Kershaw twice in the National League Divisional Series. They were able to grind out wins in both games against Kershaw and the rest, as they say was history.
