Major League Baseball has announced its start times for the ALDS and NLDS, and regardless of who wins between the Mets and Padres on Sunday night, the Yankees and Guardians will play under the lights in games one and two of their Division Series.
The Atlanta Braves will host the Philadelphia Phillies, with Game 1 on Tuesday, October 11. First pitch is slated for 1:07 p.m. ET.
If the Mets win on Sunday, Cleveland and New York will meet in the Bronx for game one at 6:38 p.m eastern, and 7:37 p.m. if the Padres win. But no matter who wins on Sunday, game two between the Yanks and Guardians will be at 7:37 p.m. eastern.
The Yankees haven’t played since Wednesday’s regular season finale, while the Guardians earned themselves and extra day of rest by sweeping the Rays in the Wild Card Series on Saturday, thanks to a thrilling walk-off home run by Oscar Gonzalez in the bottom of the 15th, ending what was the longest scoreless tie in MLB playoff history.
Gerrit Cole will be on the mound for game one for the Yanks.
