MLB announces start times for opening games of LCS
Major League Baseball announced the schedule and start times for the first few days of the upcoming League Championship Series.
Dates and times were only announced for Games 1 through 3 in the NLCS and Games 1 and 2 of the ALCS.
The NLCS will feature the New York Mets taking on either the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres, with home-field advantage belonging to whichever NL West club wins Friday's tie-breaking Game 5.
The AL matchup has yet to be determined: Either the Cleveland Guardians or Detroit Tigers will take on the New York Yankees or Kansas City Royals. As the AL's No. 1 seed, the Yankees will have home-field advantage in the ALCS regardless of opponent, while the sixth-seeded Tigers would begin on the road in any scenario. A Guardians-Royals ALCS would open in Cleveland.
