    • The MLB playoffs begin today after an unexpected double-header between the Braves and Mets yesterday.
    • This postseason could produce MLB’s dream world series matchup between the Yankees and the Dodgers.
    Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports

    The MLB playoffs arrive after a regular-season finish that essentially produced an extra playoff day and plenty of finger-pointing around Monday’s Mets-Braves doubleheader. The league, meanwhile, could see a dream World Series matchup between the Yankees and Dodgers, which would feature its biggest markets and most marketable stars.

    We also hear from MLB legend Tommy John about his 26-year career, the state of MLB pitching, and his bid for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

    Plus, DirecTV bought its long-time competitors Dish Network and Sling TV for just $1. CNBC’s Alex Sherman explains why.
