Up to five games are played in the Division series in the MLB. The first team to win three games advances to the next round. The final two rounds, the League Championship series and the World Series, are best-of-seven (the first team to win four games wins the series).

In the Divisional rounds there are a potential for 5 games per series. First team to win 3 wins the series.

In the League Championship round and World Series there is a potential for 7 games per series. First team to win 4 wins the series.

There are three rounds of playoffs: The division series is best of 5, the League Championship Series is best of 7, and the World Series is also best of 7. So to win the world series, any one team needs to play between 11 games (if they sweep all three rounds) and 19 games (if they all go the full 5 or 7 games). If you count all games played, there are four division series, for a total of 20 possible games, then two LCSs, for another 14, then 7 possible WS games. So, altogether in the playoffs, combined, there are between 24 (3+3+3+3, 4+4, 4) and 41 (5+5+5+5, 7+7, 7) games.
