NL East, AL East heavily featured in 2022 MLB postseason bracket

Baseball’s 2022 regular-season schedule is in the books. With a day of rest for everyone (and travel for some) on Thursday, we get to gear up for an exciting afternoon of MLB postseason action on Friday.

Once the bracket was officially set and the final teams clinched a playoff spot, one thing was crystal clear. Both the American League East and National League East divisions are well represented.

This year’s postseason field features 12 teams thanks to the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement. The eastern division teams are sending a total of six squads to do battle: the Mets and Yankees, along with the Blue Jays, Rays, Phillies, and Braves.
