2013 MLB League Division Series Schedule

Let’s provide the schedules for the League Division Series. We do know the start times for the first three days of the games. We’ll know more over the next few days but here’s what we have thus far. I’ll break it down by series and by date.

TBS carries all League Division Games except for two which will be carried by MLB Network, Friday and Monday. MLB Network has already selected Game 2 of the Wild Card winner at the St. Louis Cardinals National League Division Series. That will be called by Bob Costas and Jim Kaat with Sam Ryan reporting.

Here’s the schedule to date. All times are Eastern.
