2022 MLB playoffs: Bracket, scores, schedule as Phillies take NLCS Game 3 over Padres; Astros lead Yankees

A jam-packed weekend of playoff baseball kicked off Friday night in Philadelphia as the Phillies won NLCS Game 3 over the Padres to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Over in the ALCS, the Houston Astros have a big advantage. The Astros won both of the first two games at home against the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers will try to bounce back in Game 3 at home on Saturday.

These playoffs began with 12 teams, but the Guardians, Dodgers, Braves, Mariners, Mets, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays have all been eliminated. The top two teams in each league (the Astros and Yankees in the American League and the Dodgers and Braves in the National League) received byes and started their postseason journeys in the LDS round last week. With the Wild Card Series and three of the four Division Series in the books, the high stakes best-of-seven League Championship Series will start in San Diego on Tuesday and in Houston on Wednesday. The best-of-seven World Series is scheduled to start on Friday, Oct. 28.
