HBT: MLB eliminates off days in playoff schedule

Except for travel days, there will be no off days in this year?s postseason schedule.? MLB announced the postseason dates today, with the ALDSs beginning on Friday, Sept. 30, followed by the NLDSs on Saturday, Oct. 1.

In order to best separate the games for TV coverage, MLB had previously scheduled certain divisional series with extra off days.? Now all four series are set to play their five scheduled games over seven days.? That means that Oct. 1 and 4 are scheduled to feature four games apiece, though Oct. 4 would have fewer games if either ALDS ends in a sweep.

All?Divisional Series?games are scheduled to air on TBS.

The?Championship Series?games are scheduled to run from Oct. 8-17.? The ALCS will air on FOX, while the NLCS will air on TBS.

The World Series will air on FOX and is scheduled to begin Oct. 19.? If the series requires seven games, it will conclude on Oct. 27.

It will be the earliest conclusion to the World Series since at least 2008.? Last year, World Series Game 1 was played on Oct. 27.? The season ended with Game 5 on Nov. 1.? In 2009, the season ended on Nov. 4.
