Four hours later at 6:08pm local time, the Phillies and Dodgers will play Game 3 at Dodger Stadium with Philadelphia on the brink.

ALDS continues: While the NLDS is still at Game 3, the ALDS have had an extra game with both series currently split two games to one. The first game of the day is at 3:08pm local time in Detroit, where the Tigers will look to avoid elimination and tie up the series with right-hander (3.87 ERA) on the mound opposite Mariners righty (5.68 ERA).

Regardle s of who ends up pitching the bulk of Torontos innings, theyll be facing Yankees rookie (2.96 ERA) with New Yorks playoff hopes on the line. 3. Playoff injuries: While the division series continue, there are some notable injury questions facing two of the NL clubs that could wind up impacting the series in a big way. relays that, per Brewers manager Pat Murphy, star outfielder is still bothered by the hamstring injury that saw him pulled from both Games 1 and 2 of the series, even as he managed to hit a decisive homer on his ailing hamstring in Game 2.

Meanwhile, the Phillies may be without when fighting for their playoff lives in L.A. tonight. Gonzalez relays that Thomson told reporters Baders presence in the lineup will be a game-time decision as Bader nurses a groin injury suffered in Game 1 of the series on Saturday.
