The ALDS and NLDS are underway in Major League Baseball’s 2023 postseason. The Diamondbacks, Phillies, Astros and Rangers were all Game 1 winners on Saturday, and the Rangers took a commanding 2-0 series lead with another win over the Orioles Sunday. The defending champion Astros have a chance do the same against the Twins.
NLDS Game 2s are set for Monday. The Braves and Dodgers will both be trying to bounce back at home. The Phillies quieted the Braves’ potent offense at Truist Park on Saturday evening, while the Diamondbacks jumped all over Clayton Kershaw in a blowout win at Dodger Stadium.
Eight teams remain in the playoff bracket as the Phillies, Diamondbacks, Twins and Rangers pulled off Wild Card Series sweeps in the first round. The Braves, Dodgers, Orioles and Astros played Saturday for the first time this postseason after earning first-round byes. The Marlins, Brewers, Blue Jays and Rays were all eliminated from the playoffs on Wednesday.
The ALDS and NLDS are best-of-five series and the round could last through Saturday, Oct. 14. The 2023 MLB playoffs will last until at least Oct. 31, and a World Series Game 7 would take place on Saturday, Nov. 4.
