The MLB Playoffs are starting this week and the American League Wild Card & Divisional Series are taking ownership on TBS.

The two series being Thursday and TBS is showing the Cleveland/Boston series as well as the Texas/TBD matchup. Ernie Johnson is paired up with Ron Darling and Cal Ripken Jr. while on the other side is Brian Anderson taking the reins of the play by play and Dennis Eckersley, Joe Simpson, handle the color commentator duties.

Tonight the Blue Jays and Orioles are facing each other on TBS to find out who moves onto the Divisional Series against the Texas Rangers. That game begins at 8 p.m. ET with Chris Stillman for the Orioles taking the mound against Toronto’s Marcus Stroman.

But I can’t find the channel you say? Well TBS has a playoff website for the cable cutters where the games can be watched there as well as on their APP. Below are the channel listings for those that need a quick refresher.
