1903–1968: World Series only
Major League Baseball is the oldest of North America's major professional sports organizations, with roots dating back to the 1870s. The final series to determine its champion has been called the "World Series" (originally "World's Championship Series" and then "World's Series") as far back as the National League's contests with the American Associationstarting at the beginning of the 1880s. From 1901 to 1968, each league champion, or pennant winner, was the team with the best regular-season...
1969–1993: Two rounds
In 1969, both leagues expanded to 12 teams, complicating the competition for the league championship. Prior to 1969, each team played opposing clubs in its own region of the country more than clubs in the rest of the country, creating an unbalanced schedule that in some years could give a team from one region an advantage in fighting for the league pennant. To remedy this, and imitating the other major sports' long-standing playoff traditions, MLB split each league into East and West division...
1994–2011: Three rounds
In 1994, MLB realigned, adding a Central division to both leagues while retaining the pre-existing East and West divisions. To avoid having a playoff tournament consisting of an odd number of divisional winners, a wild card playoff spot was introduced to each league, imitating the original post-merger NFL system. The wild card berth was given to the team with the best record among the division runners-up. This assured that the team with the second-best record in its league qualified for the p...
World Series
The World Series used several different formats in its early years. Initially, it generally followed an alternating home-and-away pattern, except that if a seventh game was possible, its site was determined by coin toss prior to the sixth game. In 1924, the World Series began using a 2-3-2 format, presumably to save on travel costs, a pattern that has continued to this day with the exception of a couple of the World War II years when wartime travel restrictions compelled a 3-4 format (used in...
League Championship Series
Until 1998, the LCS alternated home-field advantage with a 2–3 format in the best-of-5 era (1969–1984) and a 2–3–2 format when it went to best-of-7 (1985–present). Since 1998, the team with the better record has had home field advantage, but a wild card team never secures the extra home game, regardless of regular-season records, unless both teams in the League Championship Series are wild cards (starting in 2022).
Division Series
Until 1997, the Division Series rotated in which one of the three division-winning teams did not have home-field advantage, with the wild card team never having it. From 1998 to 2021, the two division winners with the best records in each league had home-field while the worst-ranked division winner and wild-card team (the winner of the Wild Card Game) did not. Since 2022, the two division winners with the best records in each league have had home-field advantage over the two wild card series...
