Well, actually, you have two different types of games in your question. Post means after the season, so here are your answers: Each team plays 162 regular season games. If the team makes it to the playoffs, they can play anywhere from 3 to 19 games. The first series is the Division Series, the best out of 5 games wins the division. This means that a team can win the first 3 games, or play up to the full 5 games. The second series is the Championship Series. The best out of 7 games wins the championship. This means that a team can win the first 4 games, or play up to the full 7 games. The final series is the World Series. This series is also a best out of 7 series and the same rules apply as the Championship Series. The team could possibly lose the first 3 games of the Division Series, therefor only playing 3 games in the post season.
