All games on TBS

Wednesday, October 1
3:00 - Dodgers/Wild Card at NL East Champ
6:30 – NL Wildcard/Dodgers at Cubs
10:00 – Red Sox at Angels

Thursday, October 2
1:30 – AL Central at Tampa
5:00 – Dodgers/Wild Card at NL East Champ
8:30 – NL Wildcard/Dodgers at Cubs

Note that the schedule for the first two games will depend on when the AL team with the best record (ie. the Angels) will choose to start their division series.

I believe that the Angels have 24 hours after clinching the best record in the AL to inform MLB of their choice.

Friday, October 3
5:00 PM/6:30 – AL Central at Tampa
8:30 PM/10:00 – Boston at Angels

Saturday, October 4
5:00 PM/6:30 – Cubs at Wildcard/Dodgers
8:30 PM/10:00 – Wildcard/NL East at Dodgers

Sunday, October 5
12:00 – Tampa at AL Central
3:30 – Angels at Boston
7:00 – Cubs at Wildcard/Dodgers
10:30 – Wildcard/NL East at Dodgers
The 12:00 slot (with everybody moving down) probably won’t get used if one of the two NL teams sweeps.

Monday, October 6
5:00/6:00 – Tampa at AL Central
8:30/9:30 – Angels at Boston

Tuesday, October 7
5:00/6:30 – NL Wildcard/Dodgers at Cubs
8:30 – Dodgers/Wildcard at NL East
If only 1 game is being played, probably is going to be at 8:30

Wednesday, October 8
5:00/6:30 – AL Central at Tampa
8:30/10:00 – Boston at Angels
If only 1 game is being played, probably is going to be at 8:30

Takeaway:
If the Mets win the East, count on afternoon home games on Wednesday and Thursday.

If the Mets win the Wildcard, we'll have weekend home playoff games, and the possibility of road afternoon playoff games on Wednesday or Thursday.

I'll update this once we know more/things get confirmed.
