MLB Playoffs 2019: Full Schedule, TV Info Through World Series Announced

Fans can start making plans to watch their favorite teams in the playoffs after MLB released the start of the 2019 postseason schedule.

The action begins Tuesday and Wednesday with a pair of intriguing Wild Card Games as the Washington Nationals take on the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League game before the Oakland Athletics face the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League game. These are four teams that have had limited recent playoff success but come into the week with a lot of momentum with strong ends to the regular season.

Looming in the next round are teams that have been dominant all year long, including four 100-win squads.

The Houston Astros led the majors with a 107-55 record and are just two years removed from their last World Series title, making them a threat to win it all once again in 2019. The New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins haven't won quite as recently, but each found a lot of success this year despite relying on lesser-known players. They remain dangerous now that they are close to full strength for the World Series chase.

In the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the favorites and have won the pennant in each of the last two years. However, the Atlanta Braves and others will do their best to keep the 106-win squad from returning to the World Series.

With a six-month season coming down to just a few games each series, the pressure will only continue to grow. Here is a look at the remaining schedule for the MLB postseason.
