Wednesday’s Phillies-Braves MLB National League Division Series Game 2, which was pushed back from late afternoon to primetime due to rain, averaged a 2.4 rating and 4.20 million viewers on FOX — marking the most-watched LDS Game 2 in four years (2018 Yankees-Red Sox: 5.06M). Viewership more-than-doubled last year’s Braves-Brewers Game 2 on TBS, which aired on a Saturday afternoon (~2.2M).

Game 1 the prior afternoon averaged a 1.6 and 2.83 million on FOX (2.86 million including Fox Deportes and streaming), up 34% from last year’s Friday afternoon Braves-Brewers opener on TBS (2.12M).

The two Phillies-Braves games were the first Division Series games on the FOX broadcast network since 2006.

Returning to Wednesday night, Padres-Dodgers Game 2 averaged 3.11 million viewers on FS1 — down from last year’s Saturday night Dodgers-Giants Game 2 on TBS (~3.8M). The game overlapped with the aforementioned Phillies-Braves Game 2 on FOX.

Most important regular season day of the season in MLS isn't listed there.

The two big MLS matches for "Decision Day" on Sunday:

espn2 did 103k
FS1 did 54k

This league is a ponsy scheme. I can't believe they got suckers to purchase franchises at 300 million. I forsee contraction/relocation happening quite often - especially now given they will be behind a paywall for all of their games.
