2020 Schedules For MLB Playoffs, NLCS – ALCS Series
Only four of the best teams remain in the 2020 MLB postseason after the dominant teams eliminated all participants in this year’s regular season. The League Championship Series approaches with matchups featuring the Houston Astros, Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Braves, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Braves and Dodgers will vie for a spot in the NLCS. The Dodgers lead the series, but the Braves stormed back in game 3 with their first win. In the ALCS, the Rays hold a 3-1 lead over the Astros.
Due to the pandemic, the MLB heavily adjusted the schedule and format of the playoffs. The MLB will now hold the final three rounds of the 16-team 2020 postseason through the Division Series, League Championship Series, and World Series at neutral-site locations in Arlington, Houston, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Nevertheless, expect Bitcoin sportsbooks to deliver non-stop MLB odds.
