Summary
Game 1 starts Saturday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. ET in Tampa Bay, opening a best-of-five ALDS between the top-seeded Rays and a Yankees club fresh off a Wild Card sweep.
TBS will carry every game nationally, with DIRECTV streaming the full series; Game 2 is Oct. 5, followed by Games 3-4 in New York on Oct. 7-8 and a possible Game 5 on Oct. 10.
Tampa Bay enters at 98-64 after a 21-win turnaround, but it has lost seven straight playoff games and has not won a postseason series since its 2020 World Series run.
New York went 6-7 against the Rays in the regular season but outscored them overall, and arrives with momentum after scoring nine runs in each game of its sweep of Boston.
