The 2014 American League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series to determine the participating teams in the 2014 American League Championship Series. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Baltimore Orioles, and Detroit Tigers (divisional winners, seeded 1–3 based on regular season record) as well as the Wild Card game winning Kansas City Royals played in the two series. TBS carried all the games.
These matchups were:
(1) Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (West Division champions) vs. (4) Kansas City Royals (Wild Card Game winner): Royals win series 3–0.
(2) Baltimore Orioles (East Division champions) vs. (3) Detroit Tigers (Central Division champions): Orioles win series 3–0.
This was the first postseason played under the current divisional alignment, going back to 1995, in which neither the Boston Red Sox nor the New York Yankees competed in an ALDS. It was also the Royals' first appearance in the current version of the ALDS, as their last previous postseason appearance had come in 1985, prior to its conception (although the team had played in one of the 1981 ALDS necessitated by that year's player strike and the resulting split season). It was also the Orioles' first ALDS win since 1997.
Both the Angels and the Royals, and the Tigers and the Orioles, met for the first time in the postseason.
The Royals went on to defeat the Orioles in the ALCS, then lost the 2014 World Series to the National League champion San Francisco Giants.
To date, the 2014 ALDS marks the last postseason appearance to date for both the Angels and Tigers, and currently the most recent series the Orioles won a postseason game.
