MLB playoffs 2017: Full bracket and schedule
With the field set it’s time to look ahead to the 2017 MLB Playoffs. Here’s the complete postseason bracket and television schedule.
Nothing says fall like the start of MLB playoffs. This year’s playoffs promise some great matchups and a chance for the Cubs to win back to back World Series titles and for the Indians to get their revenge on last year’s World Series loss.
Three teams from the NL West will vie for a championship while the New York Yankees will have to face the Twins in order to advance to the ALDS.
The 2017 MLB postseason is similar to 2016 with the Red Sox, Cubs, Nationals, Dodgers, and Indians once again in the hunt. They’re joined this year by the Astros and the wild card competitors comprised of the Twins, Yankees, Rockies and Diamondbacks.
