WILD CARD GAMES OCT. 2-3, WORLD SERIES BEGINS OCT. 23
With the non-waiver trade deadline behind us, the
focus now turns to October baseball.
The 2018 postseason will begin on Oct. 2 with the
National League wild card game, followed the next day by the American
League wild card battle, MLB announced on Thursday.
The World Series is scheduled to begin Oct. 23. If
necessary, Game 7 is scheduled on Halloween, Oct. 31.
With the All-Star Game no longer determining who has home field
advantage, the Series will start at the home of the pennant winner with the
better regular season record.
The NL Division Series begin Oct. 4 and the AL Division
Series start Oct. 5.
The NL Championship Series is scheduled to begin on Oct. 12,
while the AL Championship Series gets underway Oct. 13.
Should two pennant winners finish with identical
regular-season records, the standard tiebreaking rules will apply. First is
head-to-head winning percentage during the regular season, then higher winning
percentage in intradivision games. A tiebreaker game is scheduled for Oct.
1.
