The National League playoffs swing back into action Monday as the Brewers and Dodgers open the NLCS in Milwaukee, while the ALCS continues in Toronto.
The Mariners shook off a first-pitch home run from George Springer and shut down the Blue Jays the rest of the way for a 3-1 win in Sunday's series opener, with Cal Raleigh and Jorge Polanco continuing their playoff heroics.
Seattle looks for another win at Rogers Centre with Logan Gilbert taking the hill after a pair of impressive ALDS outings (one in relief) and the big bats primed to do more damage. Toronto will counter with rookie sensation Trey Yesavage, who will make his fifth MLB start after dominating the Yankees with 11 strikeouts in 5 1/3 hitless, scoreless innings last week.
The NLCS begins with a rested, battle-tested Dodgers team looking to continue its title defense as Blake Snell goes to the mound for LA against a young Brewers group that won an MLB-best 97 games during the regular season.
Here's how to watch all the action Monday:
