What the ALDS, NLDS round of the MLB Playoffs bracket looks like

The 2020 MLB Playoffs are underway, and the best-of-three Wild Card round is already starting to wrap up for some teams. The league expanded from a 10-team playoff to a 16-team playoff for this year’s postseason, and turned the Wild Card round from a one-game playoff to a three-game playoff.

The Wild Card round took place at the home site of the higher seed. The LDS, LCS, and World Series will each take place at neutral sites. For the ALDS, one series will take place in San Diego and the other will take place in Los Angeles. For the NLDS, one series will take place in Houston and the other will take place in Arlington.

The Astros are the first team to clinch their way into the ALDS. They swept the Twins in two games, beating them 3-1 in Game 2. The Twins struggled to get much of anything going on offense, and in a three-game series, things can get ugly in a hurry. The Astros await the winner of the Athletics and White Sox. Chicago took Game 1 while Oakland has a lead in Game 2.

UPDATE: The Rays thumped the Blue Jays 8-2 in Game 2 to complete the two-game sweep in the Wild Card round. They will face the winner of the Indians-Yankees series. New York leads the series 1-0.
