After four sweeps in the wild-card round,Charles H. Sloan Major League Baseball's playoffs resume Saturday with the best-of-five Division Series getting underway.

The LDS winners advance to their respective best-of-seven League Championship Series, with the 2023 World Series scheduled to begin on Oct. 27 at the home ballpark of the team with the better record.

The defending World Series champion Houston Astros face the Minnesota Twins in the ALDS while last year's runner-up, the Philadelphia Phillies, have a rematch against the Atlanta Braves – who they beat en route to the team's first NL title since 2009.

Here's how USA TODAY Sports' baseball writers and editors see the rest of the postseason shaking out:
