2022 MLB playoffs: Bracket, scores, matchups, schedule as Astros, Phillies pick up Game 1 wins

The next round of the 2022 MLB playoffs got started Tuesday with the best-of-five NLDS and ALDS. Tuesday features a four-game slate of LDS Game 1s, and the Phillies were the first team to take a series lead this round. Philadelphia took down the defending champion Braves at Truist Park on Tuesday afternoon. The Astros then got off on the right foot in their playoff run, shocking the Mariners as Yordan Alvarez hit a walk-off, three-run home run to beat the Mariners in Game 1. Yankees vs. Guardians and Dodgers vs. Padres will round out the day’s schedule.

These playoffs began with 12 teams, but the Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays were eliminated over the weekend in the Wild Card Series.

The top two teams in each league (the Astros and Yankees in the American League and the Dodgers and Braves in the National League) received byes and are starting their postseason journeys in the LDS round on Tuesday. With the Wild Card Series in the books, the playoffs resemble their traditional selves: a best-of-five Division Series and then best-of-seven League Championship Series before the best-of-seven World Series.

Below you’ll find the schedule and results for every round of the postseason.
