We are closing in on the business end of the 2023 Major League Baseball campaign and the post-season picture is really starting to take shape.

Twelve teams - six from the American League and six from the National League – can qualify for the play-offs and be in with a chance of World Series glory.

Baseball has long been the least popular of the United States' three big sporting exports, trailing some way behind both the NFL and NBA, but it does feel like popularity is growing.

It can be hard for UK fans to get their heads around a sport in which teams will play more than 150 games in a single season, but tuning in for late-season and play-off games, when every home run and result really does matter, is the best way to get a taste for what it's really all about.

Luckily for supporters on this side of the Atlantic, TNT Sports have shown a real commitment in their MLB coverage - and there are even plenty of games you can catch without staying up all night!
