Under the old system, 10 teams made the post-season — the six division winners plus four wild cards (two from the American League, two from the National League). But on the eve of this season, MLB expanded the field to 16. The top two teams in each division are in, plus two wild cards per league. MLB has 30 teams, so more than half made the playoff...
But it's really just the first round that's strange. For these so-called Wild Card Series, the playoff teams in each league are seeded 1-8. The top three seeds belong to the division winners, 4-6 to the second-place teams, and 7 and 8 to the wild cards. The No. 1 seed faces No. 8, No. 2 plays No. 7, etc. These are best-of-three series.

For the first round, the entire series takes place in the ballpark of the higher-seeded team. After that, the eight remaining teams will be assigned to one of four sites.

That's right. The same Miami Marlins who went 57-105 last year and finished last in the NL. And who were picked by many to finish last again. And who had 18 players test positive for COVID-19 shortly after the season began in late July. And who called up a 30-year-old former Olympic speed skater with zero big-league experience as one of the replace...
The NL has a definite front-runner. The Los Angeles Dodgers were the most popular pick to win the World Series before the season started, and they head into the playoffs as the clear betting favourite after going an MLB-best 43-17. L.A. is a truly dominant team, led by one of the best players in baseball in Mookie Betts. The pressure is on, though....
To win the World Series? Not so much. The Jays landed the final AL wild card by finishing third in the AL East with a respectable (and surprising) 32-28 record. But their minus-10 run differential suggests they're lucky to have that record, and the betting odds reflect that. They say Toronto is the least likely AL team to make it to the World Serie...
Oct 6, 2022 · 1. OK, let’s start there: How does the MLB postseason work? Twelve of the 30 teams reach the postseason. That’s six from each league (American League and National League) -- the three division winners in each league (East, Central and West) and three Wild Card teams from each league.
