MLB Playoff Schedule 2017: Postseason Matchups, Dates, Bracket

All the latest news on the MLB playoffs schedule.

The MLB playoffs get going on Tuesday, and that’s only the beginning. 

After each league’s Wild Card games, the action really heats up on Thursday when the ALDS begins. Friday will be a baseball fan’s dream, with four games taking you from lunchtime until after midnight. 

This postseason is shaping up to be a good one, too. The Cubs are seeking to repeat after making history last year; the Dodgers are looking to prove their second-half swoon wasn’t a harbinger of doom; the Indians are hoping to show their record winning streak was no fluke; and the Yankees are trying to make everyone hate them again by winning a few years ahead of schedule.
