The 12-team Postseason kicked off Major League Baseball this weekend with an all-new Wild Card series. Three teams drew their tickets to the next round on Saturday, as the Phillies, Mariners and Guardians moved on to the LDS Tour with a two-game sweep. The Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays were eliminated from the playoffs, while the Mets forced the winner to win Game 3 against the Padres.
New York and San Diego are set to meet again Sunday night to decide who will move on to face the Dodgers. The LDS Tour begins on Tuesday.
The top two teams in each league (the Astros and Yankees in the MLS and the Dodgers and Braves in the National League) are greeted and will begin their post-season tours on the LDS Tour on Tuesday. Once teams ditch the Wild Card Series, the playoffs will resemble their traditional selves: Best of Five Division Series and then Best of Seven League Championship Series before the World Championship Best of Seven.
Below you’ll find the schedule and results for each postseason round.
