The postseason arrives all at once. All four Wild Card Series open today, best-of-three sets with no margin in them, and in the WNBA the top seed in the league is already a loss from going home after New York won Game 1 in Minneapolis.
PHI Phillies @ ATL Braves — 2:00 PM ET
MLB · Watch on NBC, Peacock
The No. 6 Philadelphia Phillies open in Atlanta against the No. 3 Atlanta Braves, a division rival that finished 6 games up in the standings. Philadelphia needed the last day of the regular season to get in. All three games of this series are in Atlanta, so the Phillies have to win at the park they spent six months chasing.
CHW White Sox @ HOU Astros — 5:00 PM ET
MLB · Watch on Peacock
The No. 6 Chicago White Sox (84-78) go to Houston to face the No. 3 Houston Astros (81-81), the rare playoff series where the visiting team had the better regular season. Houston won the AL West on the final day and gets home field for it. Chicago got in as a wild card with 3 more wins.
LV Aces @ IND Fever — 6:30 PM ET
WNBA · Watch on Prime Video
The No. 3 Las Vegas Aces lead this series 1-0 after a 102-85 win in which A’ja Wilson put up 38 points and 16 rebounds on 15-of-19 shooting, the most efficient 30-point playoff game in league history. The No. 6 Indiana Fever host Game 2 facing elimination, because the first round is best-of-three and there is no Game 3 if they lose this one.
BOS Red Sox @ NYY Yankees — 8:00 PM ET
MLB · Watch on NBC, Peacock
The No. 5 Boston Red Sox visit the No. 4 New York Yankees, which is the matchup the entire sport would have pulled out of the bracket. Both got in as wild cards, both spent the year chasing Tampa Bay in the AL East, and now one of them is finished in a series that could take 2 days.
MIN Lynx @ NY Liberty — 8:30 PM ET
WNBA · Watch on USA Network, WNBA League Pass
The No. 1 Minnesota Lynx are a loss from elimination. The No. 8 New York Liberty won Game 1 in Minneapolis 91-75 behind 34 points, 12 rebounds and six assists from Breanna Stewart, one of only four 30-point, 10-rebound, 5-assist playoff games in league history. Game 2 is in Brooklyn, where the Liberty can end the best regular season in the W.
CHC Cubs @ SD Padres — 10:00 PM ET
MLB · Watch on Peacock
The No. 5 Chicago Cubs close the night in San Diego against the No. 4 San Diego Padres, two teams separated by 2 games. San Diego held the top wild card spot for most of September and gets all three games at home for it.
