Major League Baseball’s 2020 playoffs continue Wednesday with a jam-packed eight-game schedule in the Wild Card Series. Sixteen teams have made the postseason in these unique playoffs, and the bracket was finalized Sunday. The league has announced game times and TV info for the first round, which is being played at the ballparks of higher-seeded teams.
The Rays are the top seed in the American League, and they’ll face the Blue Jays in the Wild Card Series. Meanwhile, the Yankees earned the AL’s No. 5 seed and will travel to face Cleveland. In the National League, the No. 1 Dodgers will square off with the No. 8 Brewers, who are one of four NL Central teams to make the postseason. You can find the full playoff bracket here.
