MLB Postseason on DISH: Matchups, Schedule and More

It’s old school vs. new school in the League Championship round of the 2025 MLB Postseason. In the National League, the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers ($321 million payroll) are taking on the Milwaukee Brewers ($115 million payroll). Over in the American League, the Toronto Blue Jays have home field advantage against the Seattle Mariners, who are the only active MLB team without a World Series appearance. Here's a look at both series and how to watch with DISH. Not a DISH subscriber? Follow this link to find the best offer and subscribe to DISH today!

Despite the disparity between their payrolls, the Brewers have utterly dominated the Dodgers this season: In their two series, Milwaukee swept L.A. 6-0, while outscoring them 31-16. Nonetheless, the Dodgers are the defending champions and they have the best player on the planet, Shohei Ohtani. While Milwaukee can undoubtedly use the confidence boost that comes with their regular season success (not to mention the home field advantage), we expect this series to follow a similar script to their 2018 NLCS battle. That one went seven games and culminated in a Dodgers road win and a trip to the World Series.

With respect to the good people of Toronto, it’s hard not to root for the Mariners in this series. As mentioned above, not only is Seattle the only MLB team to never play a World Series game, they’re one of the longest-suffering teams in all of North American sports. While legendary players like Randy Johnson, Ichiro Suzuki, and Ken Griffey Jr. have all played for the M’s, they went 21 years between postseason appearances (2001-2022), the longest drought in American sports. It took 15 innings in Game 5 to decide their series against the Tigers, and Seattle rallied to take Game 1 against the red-hot Blue Jays in the ALCS opener. This Mariners squad is starting to have the feel of a team of destiny, and a World Series appearance would be one of the feel-good stories in all of sports this year.
