The 2024 MLB playoffs are lastly right here after the season wrapped up with a doubleheader of playoff-impacting baseball on Monday.
For the third yr, the 12-team postseason will kick off with an action-packed wild-card spherical that begins Tuesday on ESPN, that includes eight groups battling for 4 spots to advance to the eight-team division collection.
The American League playoff image was wrapped up when the common season was supposed to finish on Sunday, with the Yankees and Guardians taking the highest two spots. However the playoff image within the Nationwide League — the place the Phillies and Dodgers claimed the highest seeds — wasn’t set till the Mets and Braves completed up their two video games on Monday. New York and Atlanta break up their doubleheader to every clinch a playoff spot (formally eliminating Arizona), and they’ll head to their respective wild-card opponents in a fast turnaround earlier than Tuesday. What a technique to begin postseason baseball!
From the primary pitch of the wild-card video games to the final out of the World Sequence, we have got you lined with the postseason bracket, schedules, outcomes and how one can watch each sport this October.
