How is the MLB playoffs set up?
The playoff bracket consists of 8 teams 4 in the National League and 4 in the American League. There are 3 Division winners in each League along with a Wild Card team. The team with the best record in each league plays the Wild Card team, unless like this year for example the team with the best record (Yankees) is in the same Division (AL East) as the wild card team (Boston). The first Series is the Division Series (ALDS or NLDS) and is a Best of 5 Series, which means the first Team to win 3 games advances to the League Championship Series (ALCS or NLCS). The League Championship Series is a Best of 7 Series which will take 4 wins to advance to the World Series. Home field Advantage is given to the Team with the best overall record throughout the playoffs until the World Series. The World Series is also a Best of 7 Series, but home field advantage was decided in The All Star game. This year the American League will have home field advantage. Hope This helped.
