MLB Playoff Picture Finalized on Wild Tuesday Night

The field is set for a memorable October.

When play began on Tuesday, the 12 teams that qualified for the postseason were already known. Now, the playoff matchups are set.

With the Braves’ National League East-clinching win over the Marlins and the Mariners and Padres also winning, all six seeds in each league are set. The Dodgers and Braves will receive first-round byes in the NL, while the Astros and Yankees get byes in the AL.

The wild-card round will kick off on Friday, with four games scheduled in what should be a fun day filled with wall-to-wall baseball. The series will be best-of-three, with the top seed hosting all three games. The winners will advance to the divisional series, which will begin on Oct. 11.
