The 2021 NLCS and ALCS are in full swing in this year’s Major League Baseball postseason. The Los Angeles Dodgers struck back in their NLCS matchup vs. the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday with a dramatic, comeback win. However, Braves still lead the series, 2-1, heading into Wednesday night’s Game 4 at Dodger Stadium. In the American League side of the bracket, the Red Sox and Astros are tied, 2-2, heading into Wednesday’s Game 5. Houston used a seven-run ninth inning to win Game 4 on Tuesday.

The 2021 MLB playoffs mark a return to some sense of normalcy for the sport. Gone are the neutral sites, the fan-less games, and the 16-team format; the concepts of home-field advantage and sellouts are back, and so is the 10-team field. The Yankees and Cardinals bowed out in the Wild Card Games last weekSo what does the MLB playoff bracket look like? Below you’ll find the schedule and the results for all the rounds as they play out, extending through the League Division and Championship Series, and concluding with the 2021 World Series.
