The rain played havoc with the Division Series schedule over the weekend and so it would be understandable if you have no idea when games in the three remaining series are to be played. Thankfully, MLB has people working on that.
Today is simple. It breaks down like this:
- Nationals @ Dodgers Game 3: 4:08PM EDT;
- Indians @ Red Sox Game 3: 6:08PM EDT;
- Cubs @ Giants Game 3: 9:38PM EDT
Tomorrow, however, things get kind of complicated, as the schedules changes depending on how many games are actually required. If there are three games necessary tomorrow (i.e. the Red Sox and the Giants both win today), it breaks down like this:
- Indians @ Red Sox Game 4: 2:08PM EDT
- Nationals @ Dodgers Game 4: 5:05PM EDT;
- Cubs @ Giants Game 4 8:40PM EDT
If there are only two NLDS games required (i.e. the Giants win and the Red Sox lose), the Indians-Sox obviously falls off the schedule and the other two games proceed at the above-stated times. If, however, there are two games required and one is an ALDS game (i.e. the Red Sox win and the Giants lose) the times change a bit:
- Indians @ Red Sox Game 4: 3:08PM EDT
- Nationals @ Dodgers Game 4: 8:08PM EDT
After that, it’s all “IF NECESSARY” stuff. Wednesday would be just one game as the NL teams would be traveling far:
- Red Sox @ Indians Game 5: 6:08PM EDT
Thursday:
- Dodgers @ Nationals Game 5: 5:05PM EDT
- Giants @ Cubs Game 5: 8:40PM EDT
Please study this post well. There will be a test later and it will count in your final grade.
