The National League Championship Series is all set now that the St. Louis Cardinals have advanced to play the Los Angeles Dodgers and with the Oakland Athletics and the Detroit Tigers playing Game 5 of the ALDS, the American League side will be set and every game of the remainder of the MLB playoffs will be broadcast live on ESPN Radio.
The ESPN Radio crew has some very solid broadcasters doing various games and teamed up with one another, including Jon Sciambi, Chris Singleton, Peter Pascarelli, Marc Kestecher, Orel Hershiser, Dan Shulman, Michael Kay, Aaron Boone, Dave Flemming and Rick Sutcliffe for the playoffs. This year the games will be broadcast on TBS on television as well as FOX, with FOX snagging the ALCS and TBS taking the NLCS.
The first game of the National League Championship Series will be on Friday October 11 with the Los Angeles dodgers visiting the St. Louis Cardinals just past 8:30 pm for the start time and game 2 will be the following day on Saturday in the afternoon on TBS at 4:07 before the third game of the series picks up in Los Angeles on Monday night. The fourth game of the series will be the next day on Tuesday at 8:07 p.m. in LA at Dodger Stadium and then if necessary, the series will hit Game 5.
Game 5 will be an afternoon game on Wednesday at TBS at 4:07 p.m. in LA and then the series shifts back to St. Louis for Game 6 if it's necessary for a Friday matchup and then it will be back for Game 7 on Saturday with an 8:37 start time in TBS.
The American League Championship Series will start in Boston no matter who wins and those games will be on TV on Fox with Game 1 coming on Saturday with either Boston or Oakland. Game 2 will be on Sunday at 8:15 and then Game 3 will shift to either Boston or Oakland for Games 3, 4 and 5 and then if necessary Games 6 and 7 will be at Fenway Park in Boston.
The World Series will be on FOX for the television broadcast and the radio coverage will be handled by ESPN and since the AL won the All-Star game, they will have home field advantage. The National league winner will have games 3, 4 and 5 at home and then the series will shift back to the AL city if necessary.
