As the MLB playoffs approach, here are a few things that you should know ahead of this year’s bulked-up postseason.
The best-of-three wild card format is a change from the sudden death one-game format that’s been in place since 2012., including the three division winners in each league. The three wild-card teams in each league will be the teams with the best record that didn’t win their division.
The wild-card round will feature four series: The No. 6 seed will play at the No. 3 seed in both the AL and NL. The No. 5 seed will play at the No. 4 seed.October’s postseason festivities will bleed into November before a champion is crowned. Some of the games originally scheduled for the first week of the season were moved to the end, meaning a season that was originally scheduled to end on Oct. 2 instead ends on Oct. 5.Game No. 163 is one that lives in baseball lore. Bucky Dent’s homer for the Yankees in 1978. Matt Holliday’s game-winning run in the 13th inning for the Rockies in 2007.If there’s a tie for one of the playoff spots, mathematical tiebreakers will be used instead of an extra game.
