Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MLB playoff format work?
Twelve teams reach the postseason — six per league. The three division winners take seeds 1-3 and the three wild cards take seeds 4-6. The top two seeds get a first-round bye. Ties are settled mathematically (head-to-head first), not with a tiebreaker game.
