MLB Playoff Schedule: TV Channel Info for Tuesday Matchup Featuring N.L. Wild Card Game

The 2013 MLB Playoffs will officially take off on Tuesday with the N.L. Wild Card Game. Wondering who's on deck for this elimination game? Check out the schedule info as only one of two will advance to the NLDS against the St. Louis Cardinals. 

Who is playing in the 2013 N.L. Wild Card Game? 
Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

Game Time: 8 p.m. ET

TV Channel- Where to Watch?: TBS 

This will be an N.L. Central battle all around. From the Wild Card game all the way until the conclusion of the NLCS, the N.L. Central will have a chance to get one of their three teams into the World Series. 

The Reds and Pirates have seen each other plenty of times in 2013. They faced off 19 times, meeting six times in the final two weeks of the MLB season. The Pirates wound up taking four out of these last six games, winning in grand fashion as they swept the Reds in the final week of the season. The Pirates own the season series against Cincinnati, winning 11 of their 19 games. 

The Cardinals will be patiently waiting for one of these two teams. Though they do not possess a clear starlet, the Cardinals are fearful as they are guided by young and talented pitching. Will this staff implode in pressure situations when it matters most? Who knows, but the Reds and Pirates will be looking forward to advancing and living for at least three more games in 2013. The Pirates also won the season series against the Cardinals, so they would not mind facing them in the NLDS. The Reds on the other hand, who hung tough and cradled the third spot in the N.L. Central, lost the season series against the Cardinals 8-11. 

Only one team could one survive. This is for second best team in the N.L. Central. It should be a game to remember. 

This will be the second N.L. Wild Card Game played in the history of baseball. Last year, the Cardinals defeated the Atlanta Braves amidst errors a comedy of errors, winning 6-3 and advancing to the 2013 NLDS against the Washington Nationals.
