How the MLB World Series Winner is Determined
The Major League Baseball playoffs are an exciting time of the year when the best teams from the regular season compete for the ultimate prize, the World Series. Let's break down how teams get into the playoffs and how the playoff system works, including the wild card games and the structure of each series.
The MLB is divided into two leagues: the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). Each league consists of three divisions: East, Central, and West.
At the end of the regular season, the teams with the best win-loss records in each division automatically qualify for the playoffs. That makes a total of six division winners, three from each league.
In addition to the division winners, two wild card teams from each league also make it to the playoffs. These are the two teams with the best win-loss records that didn't win their divisions. These wild card teams face off in a one-game, winner-take-all showdown known as the Wild Card Game. The winners of these games advance to the next round, called the Division Series.
Now, let's talk about the structure of the playoffs. There are four rounds in total:
- Wild Card Round: As mentioned earlier, it's a one-game playoff between the two wild card teams from each league. The winners move on to the Division Series.
- Division Series (ALDS and NLDS): The Division Series features four teams from each league. The top division winner faces the Wild Card Game winner, while the other two division winners face off against each other. This round is a best-of-five series, meaning the first team to win three games advances to the next round, the Championship Series.
- Championship Series (ALCS and NLCS): The winners of the Division Series in each league battle it out in a best-of-seven series. The first team to win four games in each league becomes the league champion and earns a spot in the World Series.
- World Series: This is the grand finale, where the AL and NL champions face off in a best-of-seven series. The first team to win four games is crowned the World Series champion!
