After the four MLB Wild Card Series were decided by sweeps, there was no need to play on Thursday.
The teams will rest on Thursday and Friday before taking the field again on Saturday, this time for the Division Series.
30 teams started the year and eight are still standing: the Baltimore Orioles, the Texas Rangers, the Houston Astros, the Minnesota Twins, the Atlanta Braves, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The league’s official Twitter account released the schedule for all the Division Series.

The action will start on Saturday, with all eight teams taking the field.
The Orioles will host the Rangers at 1:03 p.m. ET in Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Just two years after losing 110 games in 2021, the Orioles won 101 and are poised to show the world that their roster can also succeed in October.
The second game of Saturday’s schedule will be Twins against the Astros at Minute Maid Park.
That one will start at 4:45 p.m. ET and will feature a hungry Twins squad that just won its first playoff series in 21 years against the Toronto Blue Jays.
A little later, at 6:07 p.m. ET, the team with the best record in baseball, the Braves, will host the tough Phillies.
To close out the day, starting at 9:20 p.m. ET, the D-Backs will visit the Dodgers in an NL West showdown.
The American League teams will play Game 2 on Sunday, while the National League clubs will do it on Monday.
The moment of truth is here: the teams are about to show what they are made of.
