Nothing gets the juices flowing like playoff baseball.
MLB announced its full postseason schedule in August, outlining when each series will be played and which network will carry each game.
With the regular season ending on Oct. 3 this year, the 2021 playoff schedule brings a potential Game 7 of the World Series as late as Nov. 3 — the latest it has been since 2009.
