2022 MLB Playoffs: Bracket, scores, matchups, schedule with Saturday’s Wild Card Series Game 2

CBS Sports

Major League Baseball’s postseason kicked off Friday with a brand new wild card series. MLB will use a 12-team playoff format for the first time in 2022, with eight teams participating in a best-of-three wild-card series. The Guardians, Phillies, Mariners and Padres went into Friday’s wild card round with a 1-0 series lead. The Rays, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Mets will try to keep their seasons alive on Saturday.

The top two teams in each league (the Astros and Yankees in the American League and the Dodgers and Braves in the National League) receive the byes and begin their postseason journeys in the LDS round next week. Once the teams clear the Wild Card Series, the playoffs resemble their traditional games: a best-of-five division series and a best-of-seven league championship series before the best-of-seven World Series.

The schedule and results for each round of the postseason can be found below.
