Somewhat ahead of their forecasted ascent towards being Major League Baseball contenders, the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets are set to meet in the MLB postseason for the first time ever tonight. With both teams sporting a nice mix of solid pitching, that’s backed by explosive veteran and young hitters, the 2015 National League Championship Series is must see TV. Four wins away from a trip to the World Series, the Cubs and Mets meet in Game 1 of the NLCS at 8:07 PM ET on October 17, 2015, at Citi Field in Queens, NY.

The New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers wrap up their intense series this Thursday night at 8:00 pm EST. With a lot of hostility between the two clubs and two aces on the hill, fans and bettors can expect an epic showdown – with the winner getting the rights to host the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.

Following their 13-7 dismantling of Los Angeles last night, New York will advance to the National League Championship Series with a victory tonight. If the Mets end this series with the Dodgers they will host the NLCS versus the Chicago Cubs who about to polished off the MLB regular season best St. Louis Cardinals. That is getting way ahead of ourselves though as we expect some push back from the Dodgers as they face playoff elimination. First pitch for Game 4 of this NLDS duel is slated for 8:05 PM ET on October 13, 2015, at Citi Field in what will be a very raucus Queens, New York. Mash with the Mets!

It’s LeBron James and company in the NBA’s Central Division once again as the King is unlikely to give up his throne. The division does have a ton of depth and if injuries bog the Cavaliers down, the race will likely be tighter than the odds suggest.

The Raptors enter this season as large favourites to win the Atlantic division but should feel a bit of pressure from a youthful and energetic Boston Celtics teams.
