After two pressure-packed, one-game wild-card affairs that saw the Red Sox eliminate the Yankees and the Dodgers walk it off against the Cardinals, Major League Baseball's playoffs will now settle into the more familiar postseason series format. The Division Series are best-of-five contests for the eight remaining MLB teams, all of which are in action Friday.

The two American League series started Thursday with the favorites winning and both Sox losing: The Astros beat the White Sox and Tampa Bay handled the Red Sox. Friday those series continue with Game 2 and both National League Series commence. The Braves and Brewers play first and the primetime matchup features arguably the two best teams in baseball -- the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants.

Here's how you can watch today's games and the rest of MLB's postseason without cable.
