Introduction
Major League Baseball games are televised on a number of channels today. Some of the channels that televise these games are ESPN, Fox, and MLB Network.
American League
The American League of Major League Baseball (AL) is one of two leagues that make up the sport. The other is the National League (NL). The AL consists of 14 teams, and the NL has 16 teams. Both leagues are divided into three divisions: East, West, and Central.
The AL plays a 162-game schedule. During the regular season, each team plays divisional opponents 19 times and non-divisional opponents from the other league 10 times. Additionally, there are interleague games throughout the season, in which each AL team plays every NL team. The AL championship is determined by a playoff series that is played between the division champions at the end of the regular season.
The current AL champions are the Boston Red Sox, who have won nine World Series titles overall.
National League
The National League of Major League Baseball is one of two leagues that make up baseball in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1876, the National League originally contained ten teams, but now has sixteen.Teams in the National League play each other much more often than they do teams from across the country in the American League.
The regular season runs from April through September, with each team playing 162 games. At the end of the regular season, the top team in each division automatically advances to the playoffs, as do the two teams with the next-best records from either league. These four teams then compete against each other in a best-of-seven series to determine who will advance to the World Series, baseball’s biggest event.
