2024 MLB playoff bracket: ALDS, NLDS schedule for Yankees vs. Royals, Phillies vs. Mets, more

The divisional round in Major League Baseball’s 2024 postseason is in full swing. After an exciting weekend of baseball, both National League Division Series are tied, 1-1, after the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres bounced back for Game 2 wins on Sunday against the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, respectively. ALDS Game 2s are set for Monday as the Cleveland Guardians host the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees square off against the Kansas City Royals.

In the American League, the Detroit Tigers knocked out the Houston Astros last week, while the Royals eliminated the Baltimore Orioles. Both AL Central underdogs won the best-of-three series in two-game sweeps on the road. The Astros saw their streak of seven consecutive ALCS appearances come to an end, while the Orioles are now 0-5 in the playoffs in the last two seasons.

Over in the National League, the Padres took care of business and swept the Atlanta Braves to secure their NLDS berth against the NL West rival Dodgers. The Mets, meanwhile, won their first playoff series since they made the World Series since 2015.

The Wild Card Series wrapped up Thursday, Oct. 3. The LDS round started Saturday, Oct. 5. The League Championship Series begin on Sunday, Oct. 13. And the World Series will begin either on Tuesday, Oct. 22 or Friday, Oct. 25. Check out the complete 2024 MLB playoff schedule.
