After winning their respective three-game AL Wild Card series, now the two teams move on to the ALDS.
On their quest for the 2020 World Series, the Houston Astros will face the Oakland Athletics in a five-game series to see who will advance to the ALCS of the MLB Playoffs.
How to Watch Astros vs. A’s Online
- When: Starting October 5th at 4pm ET
- Where: Dodgers Stadium
- TV: TBS
Unlike during the regular season, all MLB playoff games will be televised nationally, meaning you won’t need a Regional Sports Network, except to watch your local pre-game and post-game coverage.
Because of pandemic, the games have shifted to a neutral site in Los Angeles where all five games will be played at Dodger Stadium. However, the Oakland A’s will still be the home team in games 1, 2, 5, while the Astros will be in 3 & 4.
