MLB has released the schedule for the National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves, revealing that Games 3 and 4 will be played at 3 p.m. Pacific Time, a slot that has drawn criticism from West Coast fans.

MLB has confirmed the dates and times for the first two games of the Milwaukee Brewers' National League Division Series, which they will host at American Family Field.

Because the Falcons are 0-2 and Week 5 features standalone windows, the NFL could flex that game out of primetime, though the decision must be made by Sept. 29. Other potential SNF options that week include 49ers-Seahawks, Bears-Packers, and Vikings-Saints, while Cowboys-Buccaneers play Thursday and Bills-Rams on Monday. Final decision rests with the league.
