The four League Division Series are underway in the 2026 MLB playoffs and the ALDS matchups resume on Monday, with the Guardians and Yankees trying to even their series against the White Sox and Rays, respectively.
The White Sox, Dodgers, Rays and Brewers were all Game 1 winners on Saturday, getting a leg up in the best-of-five series. After losing in controversial fashion in Game 1 on Saturday night, the Padres seemed poised to tie up the series before Jackson Chourio walked it off for a Brewers win off of Mason Miller in Game 2 on Sunday. Milwaukee now leads the series 2-0 and will have a chance to advance in Game 3 on Tuesday. In Sunday’s nightcap, the Braves put on a pitching clinic without Chris Sale and stifled the reigning champion Dodgers to tie their series.
The 12-team playoff field is down to eight as the Astros, Red Sox, Cubs and Phillies were knocked out in the best-of-three Wild Card Series last week.
Below is a look at the full 2026Â MLB playoff bracket and the playoff schedule.
