Following a wonderful weekend of the Wild Card Series, we are now ready for the 2022 League Division Series in Major League Baseball.

The Division Series has the eight remaining teams fighting for an opportunity to qualify for the League Championship Series in their respective teams. 

The 2022 League Division Series features a whole host of storylines. Can the Astros return to the World Series following last season's World Series loss? Can Aaron Judge lead the Yankees to their first World Series since 2009? Can the Dodgers get back to the World Series for the second time in the last three seasons and the fourth time in the last six seasons? Can the Braves repeat as World Series champions? Those are some of the plentiful storylines to watch and follow as we march our way closer to the first pitch of the Division Series on Tuesday afternoon.

In addition, the Seattle Mariners and the Philadelphia Phillies are back in the Division Series this year for the first time in a really, long time. The Mariners are back in the Division Series for the first time since the 2001 season (the last Mariners playoff appearance before this season). The Phillies are back in the Division Series for the first time since the 2011 season (the last Phillies playoff appearance before this season). The Mariners will face the Houston Astros in their best-of-5 Division Series while the Phillies square off with the Atlanta Braves in a best-of-5 Division Series.

The 2022 League Division Series begins on Tuesday, Oct. 11 with Game 1 of the best-of-5 National League Division Series from Atlanta. Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies (#6 seed, Wild Card) take on Ronald Acuna, Jr. and the Atlanta Braves (NL #2 seed, East champion) to open up Division Series play. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:07 PM (ET) on FOX. Lead MLB on FOX play-by-play announcer Joe Davis teams up with the Hall of Famer John Smoltz and reporter Ken Rosenthal for the Philadelphia-Atlanta series.

Later on, the American League Division Series gets underway with a Tuesday playoff doubleheader on TBS. First up, Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners (#5 seed, Wild Card) will match up against their divisional foe, the Houston Astros and Jose Altuve, with live coverage from Houston for Game 1 beginning at 3:30 PM (ET). Brian Anderson will handle the play-by-play for the Mariners-Astros series, alongside analyst Jeff Francoeur and reporter Matt Winer. The second game at 7:30 PM (ET) has Oscar Gonzalez and the AL Central champion Cleveland Guardians visiting the Bronx to play Aaron Judge and the AL East champion New York Yankees in Game 1 of their series. Veteran play-by-play commentator Bob Costas, analyst and 1986 World Series champion Ron Darling & field reporter Lauren Shehadi call the Guardians-Yankees series.

FS1 wraps up Tuesday's Division Series coverage at 9:30 PM (ET) as Manny Machado and the wild card San Diego Padres meet up with Mookie Betts and the NL's #1 seed Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of their series. Play-by-play announcer Adam Amin, analyst and 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski team up in the announcing booth for the Padres-Dodgers series. Tom Verducci reports from the field.
