I don't think it matters who is playing. Even if it was another west coast team the TV times for ALCS and NLCS are still locked in stone and the games wouldn't be any later. If things match last year... There's 5:07PM game start every day except friday when it's 5:37PM On Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday there's also an early game at 1:07PM

ALCS game times will be the same as last few years as they're broadcast nationally. The Friday games will start at 5:37PM The Saturday games will start at 1:07PM OR 5:07PM Networks and MLB will decide who gets primetime (5PM) based on potential ratings.
