MLB Division Series start Saturday: all four Game 1 times in PT
Dodgers-Braves, Brewers-Padres, Rays-Yankees and Guardians-White Sox open Saturday. Here are the Pacific start times and channels.
After a Wild Card round with three sweeps, the Division Series start Saturday with all four Game 1s on the same day. If you are planning your weekend around baseball, here is the order, converted to Pacific time.
The day opens at 10 a.m. with the White Sox at the second-seeded Guardians on TBS and truTV, streaming on HBO Max. The White Sox swept the Astros to get here. At 1 p.m., the Braves visit the Dodgers on FOX and FS1, streaming on FOX One. Atlanta beat the Phillies in three games and won the regular-season series against Los Angeles 5-1.
At 3:30 p.m., the Yankees play the top-seeded Rays on TBS and truTV. New York swept the Red Sox, and Tampa Bay won the season matchup 7-6, with several one-run games. The night ends at 5:30 p.m. with the Padres at the top-seeded Brewers on FOX and FS1. San Diego swept the Cubs, and Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski is seen as the front-runner for the National League Cy Young Award.
Each series is a best-of-five, so Game 1 matters. MLB lists the exact network for each FOX game as FOX or FS1, so check your guide Saturday morning to see which channel has your team.
If you are hosting, the 1 p.m. Dodgers game and the 5:30 p.m. Padres game make an easy afternoon and dinner plan, with time in between to eat.
