The 2022 MLB playoffs are set, and they feature some unfamiliar faces along with teams in surprising places.
The AL wild card will see the Toronto Blue Jays hosting the Seattle Mariners and the Tampa Bay Rays traveling to play the Cleveland Guardians. In the NL, the Cardinals are hosting the Phillies while the Mets welcome the Padres.
Looming beyond the wild card round are the Dodgers and Braves in the National League and Astros and Yankees in the American League. The Braves won the NL East after storming back to overtake the division from the Mets.
The Mariners and Phillies both snapped playoff droughts this year, with the Phillies rallying behind interim manager Rob Thomson after the firing of Joe Girardi. They will both be on the road for all three wild card games.
