The MLB season always goes by faster than Ronald Acuña Jr. runs the bases. Following a regular season that was loaded with meaningful rule changes, this year’s MLB Postseason field looks a little different than usual. Yes, perennial contenders like the Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Atlanta Braves are all back in the postseason. But the Arizona Diamondbacks, Miami Marlins (!), and Baltimore Orioles (!!!) are all playing meaningful October baseball, while the New York Yankees, New York Mets, and San Diego Padres have already started their offseason.
The Wild Card round gets underway on Tuesday, Oct. 3, with each best-of-three series wrapping up no later than Thursday, Oct. 5 before the LDS series’ begin on Saturday, Oct. 7. Here’s a look at how to watch the MLB Postseason on DISH, starting with the Wild Card series’.
