How does the baseball playoffs work?
The baseball playoffs is a tournament held after the conclusion of the MLB regular season. The playoffs begin in October and end in November, with the World Series being played between the champions of the American League and National League.
In order to be eligible for the playoffs, a team must first qualify by winning their division or by having one of the best records in their league (if they do not win their division). Once the teams are determined, they are seeded based on their record (with the team with the best record having the 1 seed, etc.). The playoffs then proceed in a best-of-five series format, with each series being played between two teams. The team with the better record will have home field advantage for each series.
The first round of the playoffs is known as the Wild Card Game, which is a one-game playoff between the two teams with the best records who did not win their division. The winner of this game moves on to play one of the division winners in the next round. The two remaining division winners also play each other in the next round.
The winners of each of these series advance to play in either the American League Championship Series (ALCS) or National League Championship Series (NLCS), depending on which league they play in. These are also best-of-seven series, and whichever team wins this series advances to play in the World Series.
The World Series is a best-of-seven series between the champions of each league. The team with home field advantage for this series changes every year, alternating between whichever league won that year’s All-Star Game and whichever league had a better regular season record than that same All-Star Game winner.
Who wins the baseball playoffs?
