The next picture can be seen in the wildcard series, Division series and the championship series. You can see The Rays winning the wild card game vs. texas rangers 2-1 and the other wildcard game the Twins get swept by the Blue jays 2-0. On the NL side of the wildcard series you see the Phillies sweep the Marlins 2-0 and the Brewers sweeping Arizona 2-0.

In the division series you can see Tampa Bay made it to 5 games beating the Orioles 3-2 to advance in the championship series game. The other AL matchup was the Blue Jays vs. the Houston Astros. This series also went 5 games but Houston survived and won the series 3-2. Now on the NL side of things we had a sweep at the top with The Braves sweeping the Philles 3-0. The Milwaukee Brewers playing upset vs. the Dodgers winning the series 3-1. Now we are onto the championship series. We have the Tampa Bay Rays vs. the Houston Astros and on the NL side we have the Atlanta Braves.

In this world The Rays keep staying hot from the wild card matchup beating the Astros 4-2 Making the World Series for the third time since 2020.  On the NL Side the Atlanta Braves came out and stopped the Brewers to become a World Series team and won the series 4-1. The Braves are 2021 World Series Champions. Looking to win another one. Tampa Bay is looking for the first one since being runner ups in 2008 and 2020.
