I get that the Yankees get special treatment on TV because they’re the big draw, but that’s just it - how much of their supposed draw is because they continue to get every primetime spot? Rob Manfred* talks about wanting to expand the game and grow the fanbase, but refuses to highlight any other team except the one that’s been highlighted for the last century. MLB managed to mess this up again, or the networks, or whoever makes this final decision.
#ALDS SCHEDULE FULL#
See the bottom of this post for the full bracket. Marlins, mirroring the West and East battles in the AL with no Central teams remaining. On Tuesday, the two NLDS series will join the slate for their first games, continuing through Saturday if necessary and played in Texas. They’ll play their first game Monday at 5:07 p.m. Meanwhile, the other ALDS between the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees gets the primetime slot. The series will be held at a neutral site, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, with the A’s serving as the home team in Games 1, 2, and 5 as usual for the higher seed. The rest of the games have not yet received start times, but they’ll take place from Tuesday through Friday (if necessary) with no off-days. Game 1 of the upcoming ALDS between the A’s and the Houston Astros will be played Monday at 1:07 p.m. After winning that series, now they get to push the start time back by a whole hour. 2 seed in the American League, the Oakland A’s had to play all three games of their first-round Wild Card Series at noon local time.
