The 2022 MLB playoffs are rolling along. Tuesday saw the Yankees advance past the Guardians in the last remaining Division Series game as well as the start of the National League Championship Series between the Phillies and the Padres. It was the first time in MLB history that two playoff rounds overlapped. Wednesday saw the Padres even up the series with Philadelphia while the Astros, playing in their sixth straight American League Championship Series, took down the Yankees in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series.
