MLB Baseball PLayoffs Start This Week – Play Ball
If you don't pay much attention to Major League Baseball for much of the season, now it gets more interesting. The baseball playoffs start this week, and I love watching them, even though my team didn't make it (Although, I do have a team in the National League that I'm pulling for).
It seems like every year, baseball playoffs get more complicated, but we can simplify it here. Playoffs start Tuesday, September 30th. Here's how things shape up, according to m.mlb.com/postseason-schedule:
"American League Wild Card
1 Game -Tue, Sep 30 8:07 PM Oakland Athletics @ Kansas City Royals - TBS
National League Wild Card
1 Game - Wed, Oct 1 8:07 PM San Francisco Giants @ Pittsburgh Pirates - ESPN"
The American League Division Series begins Thursday, October 2nd, and the National League Division Series begins Friday, October 3rd (best 3 out out of 5 games).
The AL League Championships get underway Friday, October 10th, and NL Championships start on Saturday, October 11th (best 4 out of 7 games).
The World Series begins on Tuesday, October 21st (best 4 out of 7 games).

If the World Series goes all seven games, it could end as late as October 29th. Considering that there are a few northern teams in contention, they may be playing through some snowflakes by then.
