By the end of game one, the stage had been set, leaving the ALCS ripe for the taking. An untimely injury for New York Yankees captain, Derek Jeter, left the once flourishing franchise depleted moving forward. The Detroit Tigers took full advantage, going on to sweep the Bronx Bombers to claim the 11^th AL pennant in franchise history and earned a trip to the World Series for the first time since 2006. The last World Series title for the Tigers came back in 1984.

Winning in four games allowed the Tigers plenty of rest, as they waited on the NLCS that went the full seven games. In a stunning turn of events, the San Francisco Giants erased a 3-1 deficit to knock off the defending champion, St. Louis Cardinals, to secure a clash with the Tigers for the postseason crown.

As a result of the NL winning the All-Star Game back in July, the Giants will have home-field advantage for the World Series and will host games one and two, before the series moves to Detroit for games three through five.
