Best Answer

In Major League Baseball, for the Division Series and the Championship Series, Home Field is decided according to a team's Regular Season record. The team with the better record is the team that gets the most home field games.

For the World Series, the league that won the All Star Game is the one that wins the home field rights for the World Series.

Games 1 and 2 of the World Series will be held at the home stadium with the home field advantage rights.

Games 3, 4 and 5 will be held at the home stadium with the team that does not have the home field rights.

Games 6 and 7 will be held at the stadium with the home stadium rights.
