Major League Baseball’s 2022 postseason continued Thursday with a rain-shortened ALDS schedule that features the Astros beating the Mariners 4-2 to take a 2-0 series lead. The originally scheduled Yankees-Guardians Game 2 nightcap was postponed due to rain and moved to Friday. In the NLDS, the Padres and Braves picked up wins on Wednesday night to even their series against the Dodgers and Phillies. Those series resume with Game 3 on Friday.
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. Travel could be a nightmare should teams on opposite coasts meet.
- The World Series follows the usual 2-3-2 format with off-days between Games 2 and 3, and Games 5 and 6.
