Episode 62: Top 10 Contenders for 2026 MLB World Series Championship
from The Underestimated Podcast · host Jeremy Orr
From the New York Mets to the Los Angeles Dodgers, this episode breaks down why every team on this list has a legitimate path to winning the World Series. I go from last to first, analyzing what makes each roster dangerous in October — whether it’s elite pitching like the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers, explosive young cores like the Baltimore Orioles, postseason experience from the Philadelphia Phillies, or pure star power from the New York Yankees and Dodgers.This isn’t just surface-level talk. We dive into lineup construction, bullpen reliability, rotation strength, and which teams are truly built for playoff baseball versus regular season success. Some squads rely on overwhelming offense, others on run prevention and depth, but all ten have something that makes them a real threat once October hits.
