No, only division winners can host the divisional round of the playoffs.

How do baseball playoffs work?
there's two leagues (AL and NL) each of which has three divisions (east, central and west). at the end of the year, whichever team in each division has the best record, they earn a playoff slot. Also, the best 2nd place team in the AL and NL is awarded a "wild card" playoff slot (more on that in a bit.) This results in 8 total playoff teams. The first round is called the Division Series, and there are two of them in each league (4 series, by a total of eight teams). the winners of the two AL division series' then play each other in the AL Championship series, and likewise in the NL. The winners of the ALCS and the NLCS then play each other in the World Series. Whoever wins the world series is the champs! The "Seeding" goes like this: The best team in each league plays the Wild card team in round 1, UNLESS they are in the same division; in which case the best team plays the next-worst playoff team in his league. (the remaining two teams obviously play in the other LCS). Hope this helps!

What is the playoff structure like for major league baseball?
The National League and the American League have three divisions each - East, Central and West, the three division winners plus two Wild Card teams make the playoffs. The 2 Wild Card teams in the American League will play each other in a one-game playoff and the 2 Wild Card teams in the National League will play each other in a one-game playoff. The winner of the one-game playoff will advance and will play the team with the best record and the other two teams will face off against one another. The first round of playoffs are called the Division Series, whichever team wins 3 games wins the series and advances to the next round which is the Championship Series which leaves it down to just 2 teams in each league which means they'll have to play each other. The team in the Championship Series that wins 4 games advances to the World Series. Home field advantage during the Postseason is typically determined based on the teams' regular season record however this changes once it goes to the World Series which was already determined as a result of the All-Star Game in July.
