The winner of the All-Star Game determines home field advantage for the World Series. For example, if the National League wins the first two games of the World Series will be played in the National League ballpark before playing the next three in the American League ballpark.
As you know there can be 4 teams in the Playoffs, the 6 Division Winners and the 2 Wild Card winners from both the American and National Leagues. The team with the best record in either division will play the Wild Card winner for their league but if their Wild Card winner is in the same division as them then they'll play against the team in their same league who has the 2nd best record. How it determines who holds home field advantage for the Division Series and the League Championship Series is based on their Regular Season record but this only applies to the Divisional Winners, Wild Card winners can never have home field advantage during the Divisional Series or the League Championship Series. The World Series' home field advantage is as you know based on the outcome of the All Star Baseball game.
The National League Championship Series is the Game against the winner of the two final playoff teams of the national league. Usually the Wild Card team plays the East and the Central Divivsion team plays the West. The winner of each of those games will play in the National League Championship Series. The winner of the National League Championship Series goes on to play in the World Series!
