Quick Summary

Major League Baseball announced the full schedule for the Los Angeles Dodgers' National League Division Series, sparking fan dissatisfaction. The series begins with Game 1 at Dodger Stadium on Saturday at 1 p.m., followed by Game 2 on Sunday at 5 p.m. Both potential road games (Games 3 and 4) are set for Tuesday and Wednesday at 3 p.m. PT in either Atlanta or Philadelphia, conflicting with West Coast work hours. This scheduling has upset fans who were already displeased with the early start time for Game 1 due to extreme heat conditions.

Story summary

Major League Baseball has released the full schedule for the Los Angeles Dodgers' National League Division Series (NLDS). Fans are already unhappy with Game 1 scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. at Dodger Stadium on Fox, as it falls during an extremely hot afternoon in Los Angeles. The subsequent games become even more problematic: Games 3 and 4 will take place at either Atlanta or Philadelphia on Tuesday and Wednesday at 3 p.m., forcing local fans to potentially watch the game at work due to their timing. Should the series extend to a fifth game, it is set for Friday, October 9, at Dodger Stadium starting at 5 p.m. on Fox. The move of Game 1 to an earlier time slot has particularly angered Dodger supporters given the scorching temperatures expected in Chavez Ravine during the early afternoon.
