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.
