The 2021 MLB postseason is underway with both the ALDS and NLDS heating up. The Chicago White Sox kept their season alive Sunday and avoided a sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros. The Astros will try for a clinching Game 4 win on Tuesday following a rain postponement . The Astros or White Sox will face the Red Sox in the ALCS. Boston won three straight games, including two in walk-off fashion, to take down the Rays, the top seed in the American League bracket.
In the National League, the Braves took a 2-1 lead over the Brewers on Monday, while the Dodgers and Giants are playing a pivotal Game 3 at Dodger Stadium.
MLB used a 16-team postseason format during the pandemic-shortened 60-game season a year ago. This season they’re going back to the usual 10-team format. As a reminder, the three division winners in each league advance directly to the League Division Series. The non-division winners with the two best records meet in the Wild Card Game, with the winner advancing to face the team with the league’s best record in the LDS. The LDS is a best-of-five, then the League Championship Series and World Series are both best-of-sevens.
