(1) 2019 Milwaukee Brewers (89-73) and (16) 1973 Minnesota Twins (81-81) Too soon for any HOFers from Milwaukee. The Twins have prime time Rod Carew and Bert Blyleven plus the fading Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva.
(8) 2019 Minnesota Twins (101-61) and (9) 1961 St. Louis Cardinals (80-74). Too soon for the Twns to have any inductees; the Cards have Bob Gibson and Stan Musial, one a little before his greatness and the other a bit beyond his greatness.
(5) 2017 Boston Red Sox (93-61) and (12) Monarchs (no record). The best potential candidates on the Bosox are still active (Mookie Betts, Chris Sale, Craig Kimbrel). The Monarchs have Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston and Willie Wells.
(4) 1961 Minnesota Twins (70-90) and (13) New York Yankees (80-81). Harmon Killebrew and Jim Kaat for the Twins; nobody from the Yankees.
(3) 2009 Minnesota Twins (87-76) and (14) 2009 Tampa Bay Rays (84-78). The Twins have Joe Mauer; the Rays have little liklihood of any inductees.
(6) 1961 Cleveland Indians (78-83) and (11) 2019 Chicago Cubs (84-78). No Hall of Famers in this series.
(7) 2019 Boston Red Sox (84-78) and 2019 New York Yankees (103-59). The best players in this series with one exception are still active. CC Sabathia may be selected to the Hall in a couple weeks from this writing.
(2) 1969 San Diego Padres (52-110) and (15) 1969 Cincinnati Reds (89-73-1) Nobody from the expansion Padres, who may be the weakest team in the field, is in the Hall. The Reds have Johnny Bench, Tony Perez and the barred Pete Rose.
