Joey Gallo rampaged through the inaugural MLB The Show Players League while locking up the second seed in the playoffs. As a reward, he gets to wait until tomorrow afternoon to take on Ian Happ and his Cyber Chicago Cubs on ESPN2.
On the other side of the bracket, top seed Blake Snell — whom Gallo defeated 11-2 on the league’s opening night — headlines two matchups to be played on FS1 tonight.
Tonight’s quarterfinal matchups:
1. Blake Snell (Rays) vs. 8. Gavin Lux (Dodgers)
Friday, 10 p.m. ET on FS1
4. Jeff McNeil (Mets) vs. 5. Dwight Smith Jr. (Orioles)
Friday, 10 p.m. ET on FS1
Tomorrow’s quarterfinal matchups:
2. Joey Gallo (Rangers) vs. 7. Ian Happ (Cubs)
Saturday, 3 p.m. ET on ESPN2
3. Bo Bichette (Blue Jays) vs. 6. Lucas Giolito (White Sox)

While Gallo will have to wait a few more hours before leading the Rangers into playoff action, he’ll also have a chance to scout what awaits him on the other side of the bracket.
