Title: MLB Playoff Format???
Post by: Fins4ever on September 29, 2012, 04:27:38 pm
Anyone know how it works?? I would think the top seed plays the bottom seed and the top seed has home field, but that ain't what I am hearing.

The two wild card teams play a one game playoff.
Then the winner plays the top seeded team in the league. Regardless of their division setting. That means, if the Braves win the wild card game, they would play Washington in the division series. That hasn't happened before. Also, they're doing a new format for the home teams in the divisional series. Instead of the usual 2-2-1 format, they're doing a 2-3 format. The team with the higher record us starting on the road. Its supposed to be for this year only. With Selig, you never know.

Thank you. I don't like the 2-3 format. The 2-2-1 was perfect!

I don't like that format either. I also don't like the one game wild card round either.  I feel that should at least be a 3 game round.
