MLB Playoffs 2020: Latest Bracket, Format Details and World Series Predictions

The first day of the 2020 MLB playoffs offered no shortage of drama.

Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito tossed all zeroes against the Oakland Athletics for six innings until Tommy La Stella ended his bid for a perfect game. Still, Giolito's brilliance put the stamp on a Game 1 win for the White Sox.

Conversely, the New York Yankees touched up Cleveland Indians ace Shane Bieber for seven runs after Bieber had not given up more than three runs in a single start for the entirety of his 2020 campaign.

The Tampa Bay Rays got a power boost from an unlikely source, as Manuel Margot's two-run homer proved to be the difference in the team's 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
