October arrives early as the MLB postseason nears, spotlighting veteran stars who’ve never won a World Series while their teams chase a title. The focus centers on a Yankees-heavy path and the broader mix of contenders like the Phillies, Mets, Cubs and Brewers, with odds and postseasons implications shaping fantasy decisions.

Key names surface as potential title-winners: Goldschmidt, Judge, and Stanton with the Yankees; Machado and Lindor (Padres, Mets); Santana with the Cubs; and Yelich and Marte seeking that elusive Fall Classic ring. Postseason narratives set the table for fantasy winners and winners-to-be this fall.
