Major League Baseball’s 2022 postseason is here. The MLB regular season wrapped up Wednesday and the expanded, 12-team playoffs get underway on Friday with the best-of-three Wild Card Series. This is the largest playoff field ever for a full, 162-game season, and you can read more on the new format here. The Phillies, Mariners and Guardians all advanced to the LDS round on Saturday, completing sweeps of the Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays, respectively. The Mets and Padres will play a winner-take-all Game 3 on Sunday night.
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 at 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.
