MLB Wild Card Game 2 today: times in Pacific and where to watch

Every Wild Card Series plays Game 2 today, and all four could end tonight. Each series is best of three, and the team that won Game 1 on Tuesday can advance with one more win.

According to MLB's schedule, the day starts with the Phillies and Braves at 2 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Pacific, on NBC and Peacock. Atlanta won Game 1, 5-3. The White Sox and Astros follow at 2 p.m. Pacific on Peacock and NBCSN, after the White Sox won the opener 6-3.

In the evening, the Red Sox and Yankees play at 5 p.m. Pacific on NBC and Peacock. New York won Game 1, 9-0. The late game is the Cubs and Padres at 7 p.m. Pacific on Peacock and NBCSN, after San Diego won the opener 8-0.

If any series is tied 1-1 tonight, Game 3 is played Thursday, October 1. MLB lists tentative Game 3 times in the same slots, and they may shift depending on which series end early. The Division Series begin on Saturday, October 3.

Since most of today's games are on NBC's Peacock or the NBCSN channel, it is worth checking before first pitch that your streaming login works or that your TV package carries NBCSN. That saves a scramble in the first inning.
