Story summary

Major League Baseball has released the full schedule for the Los Angeles Dodgers' National League Division Series (NLDS). Fans are already unhappy with Game 1 scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. at Dodger Stadium on Fox, as it falls during an extremely hot afternoon in Los Angeles. The subsequent games become even more problematic: Games 3 and 4 will take place at either Atlanta or Philadelphia on Tuesday and Wednesday at 3 p.m., forcing local fans to potentially watch the game at work due to their timing. Should the series extend to a fifth game, it is set for Friday, October 9, at Dodger Stadium starting at 5 p.m. on Fox. The move of Game 1 to an earlier time slot has particularly angered Dodger supporters given the scorching temperatures expected in Chavez Ravine during the early afternoon.
