Both the ALCS and NLCS are in action Monday with Astros vs. Rangers Game 2 in the afternoon, followed by Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Game 1 on Monday night. The Rangers are just three wins away from the World Series after going on the road and taking Game 1 of the ALCS over the Astros on Sunday. Houston will have a chance to bounce back right away as the defending champs host Game 2 at Minute Maid Park.
The defending NL champion Phillies will host Game 1 of the NLCS at Citizens Bank Park. Zack Wheeler faces Zac Gallen in a battle of right-handed aces.
Houston is the only division winner left standing in these playoffs. The 104-win Braves, 101-win Orioles and 100-win Dodgers were all sent home in the LDS round, combining to go 1-9 in the playoffs. The AL Central champion Twins were also ousted in the ALDS, and the Marlins, Brewers, Blue Jays and Rays were bounced in the Wild Card Series.
The 2023 MLB playoffs will last until at least Oct. 31, and a World Series Game 7 would take place on Saturday, Nov. 4. The World Series starts on Friday, Oct. 27.
