October baseball is here, and you can watch it all on Sling. After sending the Chicago Cubs packing in a best-of-five NLDS, the No. 1-seeded Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the NLCS where they will face the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers advanced first, but the Brewers had the best record in baseball during the regular season, so they will host the first two games. The series will follow a 2-2-1-1-1 pattern, with each team hosting two before moving to one game apiece if those games are necessary. The entire NLCS will air on TBS on Sling.

What's the difference between Sling Blue and Sling Orange?

• Sling Orange: The Sling Orange package has over 30 channels, including popular networks like TBS, ESPN, Disney Channel, CNN and HGTV. This is a popular pick for families and sports fans who want access to live game coverage and kid-friendly content. Sling Orange allows streaming on one device.
• Sling Blue: With more than 45 channels, Sling Blue caters to a wider audience with major networks like TBS, FOX, NBC, Bravo and National Geographic. This package is perfect for those who enjoy a nice mix of news, reality television and lifestyle programming. Sling Blue allows streaming on up to three devices.

Which Sling package do we recommend for the MLB Postseason?

We recommend Sling Blue, because it comes with TBS to watch the entire NLDS, but it also comes with Fox Sports 1 and, in some markets, your local FOX station as well. That means you'll be able to catch both NLDS matchups, as well as the ALDS. But, if you want even more sports, we highly recommend the Sling Sports Extra add-on.

What is the Sling Sports Extra add-on?

For the true sports fans out there, check out the Sports Extra add-on. You'd be getting more in-depth sports channels like MLB Network, NBA TV and NHL Network. But, it also gives you more access to the ESPN-suite, with channels like ESPNU and ESPNews. The exact package will vary depending on your Sling package, as Sling Orange will get 13 extra channels, Sling Blue will get 15 extra channels and Sling Orange + Blue will get 20 extra channels.

How much does the Sling Sports Extra add-on cost?

Here is a breakdown of the cost for the Sports Extra add-on, depending on the package you select:

• When added to a Sling Day Pass, the Sports Extra add-on is $1.
• When added to Sling Weekend Pass, the Sports extra add-on is $2.
• When added to a Sling Week Pass, the Sports extra add-on is $3.
• When added to a Sling Orange or Sling Blue monthly package, the Sports extra add-on is $11.
• When added to Sling Orange + Blue, the Sports extra add-on is $15.
