The Mets and Braves are among teams fighting for a wild-card spot as the MLB regular season nears an end. Here's a look at the latest playoff picture.

The 2024 World Series will either start on Friday, Oct. 25 or Tuesday, Oct. 22. The start date gets moved up if both the ALCS and NLCS end in five games or less. Got it? Good. Below is the complete schedule for the 2024 postseason. We'll know the Wild Card Series matchups in less than 10 days.

You could argue that adds another element of suspense though. Perhaps half of this year's squads will not return in 2025, meaning it could be a while before some of these teams get a shot at a World Series title again. Here is the full 2024 MLB postseason schedule and bracket if the postseason were to start today.

The Phillies like their chances of winning a championship this season but will an old foe end the party early?

Game 1 of the World Series is set for Friday, October 25. The World Series can conclude as early as Game 4, set for Tuesday, October 29, but can bleed into November if the series goes at least six games. Game 7 of the 2024 World Series would be held on Saturday, November 2.

The divisional round is a best-of-five series, and the winners of those series will play in a seven-game set in the league championship series (ALCS/NLCS), another seven-game set. The winners of those series will meet in the World Series.

The Braves are at risk of missing the postseason for the first time since 2017. Here's a look at their playoff outlook entering the final stretch of the season.
