The White Sox and Guardians could be done with their series as well after tonight, since Chicago is up 2 games to none. The Braves and Dodgers knew they were playing today and it’s the “Tyler” game! LA has ex-Rays righty Tyler Glasnow (5-2, 3.53 ERA) scheduled against Braves right-hander Tyler Mahle (7-10, 3.99 ERA) in a “win or stay home” game four for the Braves and a “win and move on” game four for the Dodgers. San Diego extended the other NLDS match-up with a win over Milwaukee in Game Three Tuesday night. Walker Buehler (RHP, 9-6, 4.63 ERA), a two-time World Series champion, is set to take the mound for the Padres, but the Brewers coaching staff needs to confer this morning to decide between Robert Gasser, Chad Patrick, or Shane Drohan, according to Manager Pat Murphy. First pitch in game three of the postseason, game three of the ALDS, and game 165 of the 2026 season for the Rays is at 8:00 PM EDT in the Bronx, NY at Yankee Stadium on October 7th, 2026.
