Major League Baseball's 2022 postseason rolls on Friday with a jam-packed, three-game schedule. The Yankees, who own a 1-0 series lead, will kick things off with Game 2 of their ALDS matchup against the Guardians after getting postponed Thursday night. Then it will be Game 3 for both NLDS matchups: Phillies vs. Braves and Padres vs. Dodgers. Both National League series enter Friday tied 1-1.
The Astros took a 2-0 series lead in the other ALDS matchup over the Seattle Mariners. The M's will try to bounce back Saturday in Game 3 in their first home playoff game in 21 years.
This is the largest playoff field ever for a full, 162-game season, and you can read more on the new format here. Four teams -- the Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays -- were eliminated in the best-of-three Wild Card Series over the weekend.
The 2022 MLB postseason will stretch beyond October. Game 4 of the 2022 World Series is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 1, so that is a guaranteed date. Game 7 of the World Series is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 5. It would be the latest World Series game in MLB history. Because the first week of the regular season was postponed due to the owners' lockout, each team had three makeup games added to the end of their schedule.
Here are some other things to know about this year's postseason schedule:
The best-of-three Wild Card Series will be played on three consecutive days. There is no off-day within the series.There are no off days between Games 4 and 5 of the LDS, or between Games 5 and 6 of the LCS.
