2023 MLB Playoffs – ALDS, NLDS and How to Watch

The 2023 Major League Baseball Playoffs started out with four sweeps, as all four Wild Card series finished 2-0. It was the first time ever in any professional North American sport that every series in a round (minimum four series) had nothing but sweeps.

But, that sets the stage for us for the ALDS and the NLDS. In the American League, the AL East champion Baltimore Orioles host the Wild Card Texas Rangers and the AL West champion Houston Astros host the AL Central champion Minnesota Twins.

In the National League, the NL East champion Atlanta Braves look for revenge from last year’s series against the Wild Card Philadelphia Phillies and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the Wild Card Arizona Diamondbacks.
