2022 MLB Postseason - Schedule and Results

[David]

The following is the complete schedule for the 2022 Major League Baseball Playoffs.

The 2022 MLB Postseason will feature a new format since the 2012 Postseason, expanding to a total of six teams per league, up from five. The #1 and #2 seeds in the American and National leagues will receive first-round byes into their respective Division series. The American and National League Wild Cards will expand from singular, 1-game elimination games to a 3-game series, all to be played at the #3 and #4 seed's home field. The winners will then advance to the Division Series, with the #1 seed facing the #4/#5 winner and the #2 seed facing the #3/#6 winner.

The Atlanta Braves, the defending champions from 2021, seek to keep the World Series trophy for the franchise's first back-to-back championship seasons. Last year's runner-ups, the Houston Astros, seek to return to the World Series for the fourth time in their last six seasons.

Two teams with long playoff droughts will partake in the 2022 Postseason. In the American League, the Seattle Mariners ended two decades of playoff drought, clinching their first postseason berth since the 2001 season. In the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies ended an eleven year playoff drought, clinching their first possession berth since 2011.

This postseason will also be noteworthy that it'll mark the first time since the 2015 postseason that both New York City teams (Yankees (AL), Mets (NL)) appear in the postseason.

Each round of the MLB Playoffs will appear most recent at the top of the post. Final results will be updated following the conclusion of the games. All game times are listed in the Pacific Timezone (PST). Where applicable, click on the final score to view the MLB's game tracker for the complete box score.

The ALDS is set.

Cleveland sweeps Tampa Bay, advancing to the ALDS for the first time since 2018 (lost 3-0 to Houston). The Guardians will take on the #2 seed New York Yankees, whom they went 1-5 against in the regular season.

Seattle sweeps Toronto courtesy of a historic comeback which saw the Mariners down 8-1 after 5 innings. The Mariners advance to the ALDS for the first time since 2001 (won 3-2 over Cleveland) and will take on #1 seed Houston Astros, whom they went 7-12 against in the regular season.

One of the two NLDS series has been confirmed.

Philadelphia sweeps St. Louis, advancing to the NLDS for the first time since 2011, losing 2-3 to the very team they beat in 2022 (St. Louis). The Phillies will take on the #2 seed Atlanta Braves, whom they went 8-11 against in the regular season.

San Diego and New York (NL) will play a decisive Game 3 tomorrow to determine who takes on the #1 seed Los Angeles Dodgers.

The final NLDS series has been confirmed.

San Diego defeats New York (NL), advancing to the NLDS for the second time in three seasons (2020), losing 0-3 to the very team they're about to face in the 2022 NCDS -- the #1 seed Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres went 5-14 against the Dodgers in the regular season.

After a marathon 18 inning game that resulted in a 1-0 victory and 3-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS, the Houston Astros advance to their six consecutive ALCS. The Astros will now await the winner of the New York Yankees/Cleveland Guardians series. 

In the National League, the NLCS is set. 

Philadelphia defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-1 in the NLDS, ensuring that the National League representative in the World Series will not be a repeat winner. Philadelphia advances to its first NLCS since 2010, losing 2-4 to the eventual champion San Francisco Giants. 

San Diego continues its magical season, defeating the #1 seed Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 in the NLDS, advancing to its first NLCS since 1998, where they won 4-2 over the Atlanta Braves. 

With all three division winners eliminated, as well as the highest ranking wild card in the New York Mets, the Padres become the highest remaining seed in the NL as the 5 seed, meaning they will host the NLCS over the #6 seed Phillies. 

The Phillies took the edge in the season series in 2022, going 4-3 against the Padres.

The Philadelphia Phillies have advanced to the 2022 World Series.



Philadelphia defeats San Diego in five games to punch its ticket to the World Series for the first time since the 2009 season, where they fell to the New York Yankees in six games.

This marks the eighth overall appearance for the Phillies dating to the franchise's inception in 1883. The Phillies are 2-5 all-time in the World Series.

Philly's previous World Series appearances are as follows:

1915 - Lost 4-1 to Boston Red Sox
1950 - Lost 4-0 to New York Yankees
1980 - Won 4-2 over Kasnas City Royals
1983 - Lost 4-1 to Baltimore Orioles
1993 - Lost 4-2 to Toronto Blue Jays
2008 - Won 4-1 over Tampa Bay Rays
2009 - Lost 4-2 to New York Yankees

The Houston Astros have advanced to the 2022 World Series.



Houston defeats New York in a four-game sweep to punch its ticket to the World Series for the second consecutive season. They fell to the Atlanta Braves last year in six games.

This marks the sixth overall appearance (and fourth appearance in the last six seasons) for the Astros, including one appearance when the team played in the National League. The Astros are 1-4 all-time in the World Series.

Houston's previous World Series appearances are as follows:

2005 - Lost 4-0 to Chicago White Sox
2017 - Won 4-3 over Los Angeles Dodgers
2019 - Lost 4-3 to Washington Nationals
2021 - Lost 4-2 to Atlanta Braves

The Houston Astros have won their second World Series in franchise history.

Houston defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 to clinch its second championship since 2017.
