All eight remaining playoff teams will be in action on this Friday, a staggered set of games that could, depending on how long each individual game goes, result in twelve or more continuous hours of live baseball being on the television. There is three hours between the start time of each game. Not every postseason game is three or more hours long, but it seems like many are.
Here is the schedule:
12:45pm: Rangers @ Blue Jays (Texas leads 1-0)
Starters: Cole Hamels (TEX), Marcus Stroman (TOR)
3:45pm: Astros @ Royals (Houston leads 1-0)
Starters: Scott Kazmir (HOU), Johnny Cueto (KC)
6:45pm: Cubs @ Cardinals (first game)
Starters: Jon Lester (CHI), John Lackey (STL)
9:45pm: Mets @ Dodgers (first game)
Starters: Jacob deGrom (NY), Clayton Kershaw (LAD)
Talk about saving the best for last.
