PrintMajor League Baseball has released a partial schedule for the division series. The Dodgers will open game one on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium against the Cardinals at 6:37pm Pacific time.
The start time of game two is contingent upon which ALDS schedule is chosen by the Yankees:
- If the Yankees choose the eight-day ALDS (beginning Wednesday), Game 2 of the Dodgers series is at 3:07pm Pacific time.
- If the Yankees choose the seven-day ALDS (beginning Thursday), Game 2 of the Dodgers series is at 6:37pm Pacific time.
The Yankees, who have the right to choose their division series schedule by virtue of having the best record in the American League, have until one hour after the one-game AL Central playoff game is concluded on Tuesday to decide their ALDS schedule. The Tuesday game between the Tigers and Twins starts at 2pm Pacific time.
Saturday's third game in St. Louis will start at 3:07pm Pacific time.
All division series games will be televised on TBS.
Division series rosters for both the Dodgers and Cardinals are due by 10am Pacific time Wednesday.

Pitching
TBS said before that game one would be Wolf vs Wainright and game two would be Carpenter vs Kershaw.
Stats - You're the Man
I won’t argue with you. I will argue with me as I may have mixed them up as I had just woken up from a nice sunday afternoon slumber to watch the game.
however…
2.24 ERA vs 2.63 ERA – not a huge difference. Wainwright leads in K’s and W’s as well.
x-FIP agrees with you
Essentially a tie
Wainwright x-FIP: 3.45
Carpenter x-FIP: 3.46

we will probably play at 3:07 on thursday
cause the yankees will want the longer series which starts earlier so the teams playing against them also gets no rest..
The only difference between the two series is the date of game one. One is Wednesday; the other Thursday. Every thing else is the same.
The reasons for the Yankees to choose Wednesday would be:
1) If you only have 3 pitchers you are confident in, you can start 1 & 2 on full rest twice in the series (conversely, if you are facing a team with only 3 good starters, you would not want the long series option)
2) to tire the Twins bullpen out by having games Tuesday and Wednesday
So you are calling a Twins victory then?

That hasn’t been decided yet. The Yankees have until one hour after the Tigers/Twins game on Tuesday to pick their game one date.
a yankee rep was on the radio the other day and said they are 95 % sure to take the Wednesday game cuz it will give CC a perfect 5 days of rest and that in the event of a one game playoff, the team would have to travel that night

I think facing Wainwright 1st is better for the Dodgers.
I believe he is more likely to struggle then Carpenter against the Dodgers based off past results head to head. Who knows maybe the Dodgers will beat Carpenter at the most important time.
Somehow someway the Dodgers wake up and take this series in 5 really good games.
Who ever wins this series will win the NL.
Some of work, ya know!
Well, that’s a bummer. After Saturday’s game, leaving the stadium, I decided to get tickets for Game 2, since we can’t do Wednesday night, but Thursday evening would be doable. Bought them for the whole family, since my daughter really want s to go to a playoff game. I can pick the kids up from school right at 2:30 and get there late, but I don’t think my wife can pull off leaving early from work, however. Kind of a drag.
And, sorry I didn’t come to visit you folks on Saturday night. Moving around a whole lot with two (young) kids in tow is kind of hard, once we get settled.
