MLB playoff schedule 2023: Full bracket, dates, times, TV channels for every series

MLB playoff schedule 2023: Full bracket, dates, times, TV channels for every series

The postseason is here.

October is the holy grail of months for baseball fans, and last year’s postseason showed why. Between walk-off home runs, epic comebacks, and even a combined no-hitter, the journey to the Commissioner’s Trophy lived up to the hype yet again. This year, some new faces have entered the fray.

The Orioles not only reached the postseason for the first time since 2016, but they earned their first 100-win season in 43 years and had the best record in the American League. While the Yankees won’t be a part of the action for the first time since 2016, familiar contenders like the Braves and Dodgers will.

Will one of the NL powerhouses win a second title this decade, or will this be the October a Cinderella story wins out?
