For the first time in 12 years, both of Ohio’s Major League Baseball teams have made the playoffs. The Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds are set to play postseason baseball in 2025 after a wild playoff push in the last weeks of the season.

After winning 90 games games in the regular season, the Reds' campaign ended after just nine playoff innings.
