Four games, one Super Wednesday in the 2025 MLB playoffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The division series in both the American League and National League could all end today — with four teams headed to the league championship series. Or we could see the four trailing teams, with their backs against the wall, survive to play another day.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it’s scheduled to play out: The Seattle Mariners<\/a> and Detroit Tigers<\/a> get the day in motion in Motown (3:08 p.m. ET, FS1) with Game 4 of their ALDS (Seattle leads 2-1). Then it’s Game 3 of the NLDS between the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> and Chicago Cubs<\/a> at Wrigley Field, with the Brewers looking for a sweep (5:08 p.m., TBS). Next up, another Game 4: The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>, up 2-1, look to bounce the New York Yankees<\/a> in the Bronx (7:08 p.m., FS1). Finally, Dodger Stadium fans will have the brooms out as the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> host the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> (9:08 p.m., TBS).<\/p>\n

We’ll have all the day’s action covered — from lineups before first pitch to in-game analysis and postgame takeaways.<\/p>\n
