The baseball playoffs are a best-of-seven series.

The baseball playoffs are a best-of-seven series. The American League Division Series (ALDS) features the three division winners and the Wild Card team, while the National League Division Series (NLDS) pits the two division winners with the better records against each other and the two Wild Card teams.

The ALDS and NLDS are played in a 2-2-1 format, meaning that the higher seed hosts Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 (if necessary), while the lower seed hosts Games 3, 4, and 5. In both cases, the first two games are played on consecutive days, followed by a day off. Then, if necessary, games 6 and 7 are played on consecutive days.

In terms of seeding for the baseball playoffs, it goes like this: The division winner with the best record is seeded first overall, followed by the division winner with the second-best record, and so on. So if the Astros win their division with 101 wins and the Red Sox finish second in theirs with 93 victories, Houston would be seeded first overall and Boston would be second.

Theoretically*, any combination of teams could meet in any round of baseball’s playoff format. However, due to geographical considerations (teams from different divisions can’t meet until the League Championship Series), as well as dominant stretches by certain franchises over others in recent years (the Red Sox have won four World Series titles since 2004), some postseason matchups are far more likely than others.

*Theoretically because MLB realigned its divisions prior to the 2013 season in order to accommodate two additional teams (the Houston Astros moved from the NL Central to the AL West).

The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB) in North America, contested since 1903 between the American League (AL) champion team and the National League (NL) champion team. The winner of the World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff, and the winning team is awarded the Commissioner’s Trophy. As described by Major League Baseball, the World Series is “the best-of-seven playoff between the champions of baseball’s National League and American League”.

The Series was initially structured as a best-of-nine affair from 1903 to 1916, when it was temporarily cut back to a best-of-seven format owing to travel restrictions imposed by World War I. It reverted to the best-of-nine format in 1919, and has remained there ever since. With 111 victories, the New York Yankees have appeared in more Fall Classics than any other Major League franchise.
