The 12-team MLB postseason field has been trimmed to eight teams. All four Wild Card Series came to an end Wednesday as the Phillies, Diamondbacks, Twins and Rangers completed two-game sweeps. The Marlins, Brewers, Blue Jays and Rays were all eliminated from World Series contention. Wednesday’s results set the NLDS and ALDS matchups in stone in the playoff bracket: Braves-Phillies and Dodgers-Diamondbacks in the NL, Orioles-Rangers and Astros-Twins in the AL.
There will be two days off before the LDS round begins on Saturday. MLB has not yet announced game times for the upcoming round.
The Braves, Dodgers, Orioles and Astros earned byes as the top two seeds in each league. They have not played since the regular season wrapped up on Sunday.
The 2023 MLB playoffs will last until at least Oct. 31, and a World Series Game 7 would take place on Saturday, Nov. 4.
