The 2022 MLB postseason is underway with the Wild Card Series
• 2 min read
Major League Baseball’s 12-team postseason kicked off this weekend with the brand-new Wild Card Series. Three teams punched their tickets to the next round on Saturday, as the Phillies, Mariners and Guardians moved on to the LDS round with two-game sweeps. The Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays were eliminated from the playoffs, while the Mets forced a winner-take-all Game 3 against the Padres.
The Mets and Padres will meet again Sunday night to determine who moves on to face the Dodgers. The LDS round gets started on Tuesday.
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 next week. 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.
