The 2022 Major League Baseball postseason is the current postseason tournament of Major League Baseball (MLB) for the 2022 season. This was the first edition of the postseason since 2012 to have a new format, as it has been expanded to include six teams per league. The top two seeds of the American and National leagues receive first-round byes into the Division Series (DS) and the other two division winners are the third seed in their respective league. The three Wild Card teams are the fourth, fifth and sixth seeds. The third seed hosts the sixth seed in a best-of-three Wild Card series, and the fourth seed does the same with the fifth seed.[1] The postseason started on Friday, October 7, two days after the end of the regular season.[2]

The winners of the Wild Card series then face the top two seeds from each league in the best-of-five Division Series (i.e. the one seed will face the fourth/fifth seed winner and the two seed will face the third/sixth seed winner). The winners of the LDS will then move on to the best-of-seven LCS to determine the pennant winners that will face each other in the World Series.[1]

In the American League, the Houston Astros were the first team to clinch a postseason spot, with this being their seventh appearance in the last eight seasons. The New York Yankees also clinched their seventh postseason berth in the past eight years, while the now-Cleveland Guardians clinched their fifth postseason berth in the past seven seasons. The Toronto Blue Jays also returned, as they clinched their second postseason appearance in the past three years. The Tampa Bay Rays returned for the fourth year in a row, and the Seattle Mariners ended two decades of futility by clinching their first postseason berth since 2001, ending what was the longest active postseason drought in the American League and all of the four major North American sports leagues.

In the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers became the first team to clinch a postseason spot in the MLB overall, marking their tenth straight appearance. The Dodgers became the first team to make ten consecutive postseason appearances since the Yankees did so from 1998 to 2007. On September 19, the New York Mets clinched their third postseason berth in the past eight years and first overall since 2016, marking the first time since 2015 that both New York City teams appeared in the postseason. The defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves clinched their fifth straight postseason berth on September 20. The St. Louis Cardinals clinched the NL Central title on September 27, which was their first division title since 2019 and their fourth consecutive postseason appearance. The San Diego Padres clinched their second postseason berth in the past three years on October 2. On October 3, the Philadelphia Phillies clinched their first postseason berth since 2011, ending what was also the longest active postseason drought in the National League.

The Wild Card Series saw three of the lower seeds advance to the next round, while the Division Series saw the top two seeds in the National League win a total of one game each.

Playoff seeds

Major League Baseball tie-breaking procedures were revised this season to use head-to-head records to break any ties at the end of the regular season, instead of playing tiebreaker games.[3] Under the new format, the top two seeds in each lead earned a first-round BYE into the League Division Series (LDS). The three wild card teams are the fourth, fifth, and sixth seeds respectively. While the third-seeded team hosts the sixth seed, the fourth seed hosts the fifth seed.

The following teams qualified for the postseason:

  1. Houston Astros – 106–56, Clinched AL West[4]
  2. New York Yankees – 99–63, Clinched AL East[5]
  3. Cleveland Guardians – 92–70, Clinched AL Central[6]
  4. Toronto Blue Jays – 92–70[7]
  5. Seattle Mariners – 90–72[8]
  6. Tampa Bay Rays – 86–76[9]

The Mariners swept the Blue Jays to advance to the ALDS for the first time since 2001. The Mariners shut out the Blue Jays in Game 1 and in Game 2, the Blue Jays had a 8–1 lead after five innings, but two four-run innings enabled an unprecedented postseason comeback by the Mariners.

The Astros swept the Mariners to return to the ALCS for the sixth year in a row. Despite ending in a sweep, each game of the series was decided by two runs or less. In Game 1, the Mariners held a 7–5 lead going into the bottom of the ninth until Houston's Yordan Alvarez hit a walk-off three-run home run to take Game 1 for the Astros. In Game 2, the Mariners again held a late lead, until Alvarez hit a two-run home run to put the Astros in the lead for good. When the series moved to Seattle for Game 3, the game remained scoreless through 17 innings, setting a new MLB record for the postseason. In the top of the 18th inning, Houston's Jeremy Peña hit a solo home run to give the Astros a 1–0 lead. The Astros then closed out the series in the bottom of the inning.[28]

This was the sixth postseason meeting between the Yankees and the Guardians. In their previous five meetings, Cleveland defeated the Yankees in the ALDS in 1997 and 2007, while the Yankees prevailed against them in the ALCS in 1998, the ALDS in 2017, and the Wild Card series in 2020.

The Yankees defeated the Guardians in five games to advance to the ALCS for the third time in six years. The first two games at Yankee Stadium were split by both teams. When the series shifted to Cleveland for Game 3, the Yankees held a 5–3 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, until the Guardians rallied with three runs to win and go up 2–1 in the series.

Game 4 was originally scheduled for October 13 at 9:07 pm (EDT), but was postponed to 9:38 pm the same day due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather.[40]

This was the second postseason meeting in the Dodgers–Padres rivalry. The previous meeting in the NLDS in 2020 was won by the Dodgers in a sweep en route to a World Series title.

In a significant upset given their regular season win differential, the 89-win Padres defeated the 111-win Dodgers in four games to advance to the NLCS for the first time since 1998.[41]

The Dodgers took Game 1 in Los Angeles by a 5–3 score, but the Padres responded with a 5–3 victory of their own in Game 2 to even the series. When the series moved to San Diego for Game 3, the Padres narrowly took Game 3 thanks to stellar pitching performances from Blake Snell and Josh Hader to take a 2–1 series lead. In Game 4, the Dodgers jumped out to an early lead and scored one more in the top of the seventh inning to go up 3–0. However, the Padres rallied with five unanswered runs in the bottom of the inning to complete the upset series win.

The start for Game 2 was delayed due to rain on October 12. It was originally scheduled to be played at 4:35 pm (EDT) but was delayed to 7:30 pm (EDT) due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather.[46]

This was the second postseason meeting between the Braves and Phillies. They previously met in the NLCS in 1993, which was won by the Phillies in six games before they fell in the World Series that year.

The Phillies upset the defending World Series champion Braves in four games to return to the NLCS for the first time since 2010. The Phillies stole a high-scoring Game 1 on the road in Atlanta, while the Braves responded with a 3–0 shutout in Game 2 to even the series. However, when the series moved to Philadelphia, the Phillies blew out the Braves in Games 3 and 4 to complete an improbable upset.

This was the fourth postseason meeting between the Astros and Yankees. The previous three meetings (2015, 2017, 2019) were won by the Astros. This was the sixth straight appearance in the ALCS for the Astros, dating back to 2017.

The Astros swept the Yankees to return to the World Series for the fourth time in six years. The Astros took Game 1 thanks to a solid pitching performance by Justin Verlander, and in Game 2 the Astros held off a late Yankees rally to go up 2–0 in the series headed to the Bronx. The Astros shut out the Yankees in Game 3, 5–0, to go up 3–0 in the series. The Yankees attempted to avoid a sweep in Game 4 as they lead going into the seventh inning, however, it was short-lived as Houston’s Yordan Alvarez and Alex Bregman both hit RBI singles to put the Astros in the lead for good, securing the pennant.

This was the first time the Yankees were swept in the ALCS since 2012. With the win, the Astros became the fourth team in MLB history to win seven consecutive games in the postseason, joining the 1976 Cincinnati Reds, the 2007 Colorado Rockies, and the 2014 Kansas City Royals.

The last time the Phillies appeared in the NLCS was in 2010, where they were upset by the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants. The Phillies defeated the Padres in five games to return to the World Series for the first time since 2009.

Game 1 was a pitcher’s duel between Philadelphia’s Zach Wheeler and San Diego’s Yu Darvish. The Phillies took Game 1 in a 2–0 shutout. The Padres rallied from an early deficit in Game 2 to tie the series with an 8–5 victory. When the series shifted to Philadelphia for Game 3, the Phillies won by a 4–2 score to take a 2–1 series lead.

Game 4 was an offensive duel - the Padres jumped out to an early 4–0 lead in the top of the first, but the Phillies cut the lead to one in the bottom of the inning. The Phillies tied the game in the bottom of the fourth, while San Diego’s Juan Soto hit a two-run home run to regain the lead in the top of the fifth. In the bottom of the inning, Philadelphia’s Rhys Hoskins tied the game with a two-run home run of his own, followed by an RBI double by Bryce Harper, as well as a single by Nick Castellanos which put the Phillies in the lead for good. The Phillies won 10–6 to go up 3–1 in the series. In Game 5, the Phillies jumped to an early 2–0 lead. Even though the Padres took the lead in the top of the seventh, the Phillies scored two more unanswered runs to take the lead for good and secure the pennant.

With the win, the Phillies became the first sixth-seeded team in MLB history to reach the World Series, due to the new playoff format that started with this postseason.

Broadcasting

Television coverage

For the postseason, ESPN networks broadcast the Wild Card round; due to logistical concerns (especially with the fluctuating placements of teams in the standings during the final games of the regular season), the network employed remote production for the Padres/Mets and Mariners/Blue Jays series. The latter series employed a variant of the "enhanced world feed" model used in the 2020 season, with commentators and other selected staff on-site at Rogers Centre, but using video feeds from the Sportsnet production.[61]

Fox Sports will broadcast the National League Division Series, Championship Series, and for the 23rd consecutive season, the World Series; while TBS broadcasts the American League Division Series and Championship Series. Spanish-language broadcasts of all ALDS and ALCS games will air on MLB Network.[62][63]

Radio

ESPN Radio will air the entire Major League Baseball postseason.
