Despite earning the No. 2 seed in the American League, the Oakland A’s had to play all three games of their first-round Wild Card Series at noon local time. After winning that series, now they get to push the start time back by a whole hour.
Game 1 of the upcoming ALDS between the A’s and the Houston Astros will be played Monday at 1:07 p.m. PT. The rest of the games have not yet received start times, but they’ll take place from Tuesday through Friday (if necessary) with no off-days. The series will be held at a neutral site, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, with the A’s serving as the home team in Games 1, 2, and 5 as usual for the higher seed.
