The term “wild card” entered Major League Baseball (MLB) lexicon in 1994, when Major League Baseball expanded the playoffs to include four teams from each league: two division winners and two wild card teams.
The wild card game was introduced in 2012, when MLB realigned its two leagues into three divisions each. Previously, the two division winners with the best records from each league advanced to the playoffs, while the other four playoff spots were filled by the winners of a one-game playoff between the two wild card teams.
