The ALCS and NLCS are underway in the 2021 Major League Baseball postseason. Four teams remain in the playoffs, as the Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves fight for a spot in the 2021 World Series, which kicks off Oct. 26. In the ALCS, the Red Sox evened the series, 1-1, with a comfortable win in Game 2 on Saturday afternoon. The NLCS between the Braves and Dodgers, got underway Saturday night with Atlanta earning a walk-off Game 1 win at Truist Park. NLCS Game 2 is set for Sunday.
The 2021 MLB playoffs mark a return to some sense of normalcy for the sport. Gone are the neutral sites, the fan-less games, and the 16-team format; the concepts of home-field advantage and sellouts are back, and so is the 10-team field. The Yankees and Cardinals bowed out in the Wild Card Games last week
So what does the MLB playoff bracket look like? Below you’ll find the schedule and the results for all the rounds as they play out, extending through the League Division and Championship Series, and concluding with the 2021 World Series.
