Best Answer

In the Major Leagues, the three teams that lead the Division in both leagues will make the Playoffs and the two teams from both leagues with the best record that don't lead the division will also make the Playoffs.

Additionallly the two Wild Card teams in the American League will play each other in a one-game playoff and the two Wild Card teams in the National League will also play each other in a one-game playoff.

The winner of the American League Wild Card game will continue on to the Division Series in order to play the Divisional Winner with the best record and the winner of the N.L. Wild Card game will also have to face the Divisional record with the best record but in the National League.

The Divisional Series is a best of 5 series, the two winners in the A.L. will go on to face each other in the Championship Series and the 2 winners in the N.L. will also go on to face each other in the Championship Series which is a best of 7 series. The winners of the Championship Series will face each other in the World Series which is also a best of 7 series.
