MLB Playoffs History
When the regular season ends after the first Sunday in October (or the last
Sunday in September), eight teams enter the post-season playoffs. Six teams are
division champions; the remaining two "wild-card" spots are filled by
the team in each league that has the best record but is not a division champion
(best second-place team). Three rounds of series of games are played to
determine the champion:
World
Series, a best-of-seven-games series played between the champions of
each league.
Within each league, the division winners are the #1, #2 and #3 seeds, based
on win/loss records. The wild-card team is the #4 seed — regardless of
its record — and is paired against the highest seed outside of its own
division in the first round of the playoffs, while the remaining two division
champions play each other. In the first two rounds, the better-seeded team has
home-field advantage, regardless of record.
The team belonging to the league that won the mid-season All-Star
Game receives home-field advantage in the World Series.
Because each postseason series is split between the two teams' home fields,
"home-field advantage" theoretically does not play a significant role
unless the series goes to its maximum number of games, in which case the final
game takes place on the field of the team holding the advantage. In reality,
however, "home-field advantage" can play a role, if the team
with home-field advantage wins the first two games (at home), thereby gaining
some "momentum" for the rest of the Series.
