8 a.m. ET -- Upton brothers deliver in the clutch: Cubs at Braves on April 6, 2013
Before jumping into the LCS classics, whet your appetite with an early-morning regular-season thriller. The Braves found themselves trailing in this game, 5-1, entering the bottom of the eighth inning at Turner Field. The only offense to that point for Atlanta had come courtesy of a Justin Upton home run back in the first inning. But the Braves scored three runs in the eighth to cut the deficit to one, and then Upton and his brother, B.J., took care of things from there. In the ninth, B.J. smashed a game-tying home run, and two batters later, Justin crushed his second of the game for the walk-off shot.

10 a.m. ET -- 2014 ALCS Game 1, Royals at Orioles
Kansas City would sweep this series to reach the World Series for the first time in 29 years, but every game was close. Game 1 was the "Alex Gordon Game." The longtime Royals outfielder shined on the brightest stage of his career to that point, driving in four of Kansas City's eight runs, including on a go-ahead homer in the 10th inning. Later in the same inning, Mike Moustakas provided some much-needed insurance with a two-run shot for an 8-6 victory.

Noon ET -- 2006 NLCS Game 7, Cardinals at Mets
This showdown had all the drama fans expect from a Game 7. The Cards and Mets traded an early run for each side, but the game stayed deadlocked at one for much of the night. Endy Chavez robbed Scott Rolen of a go-ahead homer in the sixth with an unbelievable catch, forever etching his name into Mets lore. But the Cardinals got the last laugh when Yadier Molina hit a two-run, go-ahead homer that Chavez couldn't reach in the top of the ninth, and rookie closer Adam Wainwright struck out Carlos Beltrán looking with a curveball to strand the tying runs for New York.

3 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET -- 2018 NLCS Game 1, Dodgers at Brewers
Game 1 of the 2018 NLCS portended what was to come in a thrilling seven-game affair that the Dodgers would win to advance to their second consecutive World Series. The Brewers led, 6-1, heading into the top of the eighth, when the Dodgers rallied for three runs in that inning before scoring another run in the ninth. Milwaukee was able to hold off the late Los Angeles rally to win, 6-5. This contest featured Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff launching a home run off none other than Clayton Kershaw, homers from Manny Machado and Jesús Aguilar, and the tying run stranded at third base in the ninth.
