Mexico's baseball leagues gear up for playoff rounds

The 2026 season of the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol (LMB) enters its final stage. In the Northern zone Toros de Tijuana sit 10 games ahead of Calientes de Durango, while Diablos Rojos del México lead the Southern zone. With three series (nine games) remaining, the league will move into its four‑phase playoff format, beginning with a first‑playoff round, followed by zone series, championship series and the Serie del Rey.

Meanwhile, the Liga Obrera de Béisbol CTM in Aguascalientes approaches the penultimate regular‑season round. The elite “A” group sees Hijos de Goyo entrenched as leaders, aiming to secure the top spot against Grupo Soldi. Other key matchups include Wicho García versus Águilas del Asei, a game that could shift the sub‑leadership and influence playoff seeding. Lower‑division groups B and C continue their race for the limited playoff berths.
