The Padres and Phillies are now both one win away from the NLCS
• 2 min read
The ALDS and NLDS are in full swing in the 2022 MLB playoffs, and Friday was a big day for lower seeds. First, the third-seeded Guardians took down the second-seeded Yankees in ALDS Game 2 to even the series. In the National League, the Padres and Phillies (the Nos. 5 and 6 seeds, respectively) put the Dodgers and Braves on the brink of elimination. The top-seeded Dodgers and second-seeded Braves have met in the NLCS in the last two years, but now both trail 2-1 in the NLDS.
In the other American League series, the Astros have a 2-0 lead over the Mariners and will try to sweep Seattle on Saturday.
These playoffs began with 12 teams, but the Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays were eliminated last 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 started 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.
