Question

Mlb-what is playoff format with wild card team?

Answer 1

3 division winners and 1 Wild card team from each league (AL and NL)

The 1st round pits the Wild Card team and the division winner with the best record playing each other (unless they are from the same division--in that case the best record plays the division winner with the lowest record)

Answer 2

Sand Man is right.

However - I think that restriction about not playing a team from your own division in the first round should be changed.  It should go strictly by record.
