2022 MLB playoffs: Bracket, scores, matchups, schedule as Mets face Padres with trip to NLDS up for grabs

Major League Baseball's 12-team postseason kicked off this weekend with the brand-new Wild Card Series, and just one spot remains undecided in the next round. The Mets and Padres meet Sunday night in a win-or-go-home Game 3. The winner of Sunday night's game moves on to face the Dodges. The other three LDS matchups are set: Yankees-Guardians and Astros-Mariners in the American League, and Braves-Phillies in the National League.

The Rays, Blue Jays and Cardinals were all eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday in two-game sweeps.

The top two teams in each league (the Astros and Yankees in the American League and the Dodgers and Braves in the National League) received byes and will start their postseason journeys in the LDS round on Tuesday. Once teams clear the Wild Card Series, the playoffs will resemble their traditional selves: a best-of-five Division Series and then best-of-seven League Championship Series before the best-of-seven World Series.

Below you'll find the schedule and results for every round of the postseason.
