It'll be an all American League matchup in the World Series of the inaugural MLB The Show Players League as Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox prepare to take on Blake Snell and the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday afternoon.

The pitchers fought their way through Saturday's semifinals to reach the best-of-five title round. The best-of-three semifinals consisted of three-inning games, as has been the case since the league started last month.

Giolito defeated crosstown rival Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs to reach the World Series, but not without a bit of drama.
