MLB’s 12-team postseason bracket has already been whittled down to eight contenders. Now, the top two seeds from each league have joined the fray in the Division Series. After advancing directly to their ALDS and NLDS slots via byes, the Astros, Yankees, Dodgers and Braves are taking on challengers.
Game 1 saw the Braves fall behind the plucky Phillies, and the Astros snatch a victory from the Mariners in heroic, historic fashion, while the Dodgers and Yankees took care of business. The schedule begins to stagger the leagues on Wednesday. The NL picks up with Game 2, but the AL takes an odd off day before resuming on Thursday.
Here’s Wednesday’s slate and TV schedule.
Game 2: Phillies (Wheeler) at Braves (Wright) 4:35 p.m., FOX (delayed by rain to 7:30 p.m. ET)
Game 2: Padres (Darvish) at Dodgers (Kershaw) – 8:37 p.m., FS1
