The MLB playoffs are a series of games that determine the champion of Major League Baseball. It’s the ultimate showdown between the top teams from the American League and the National League.

The playoffs consist of four rounds of play. First, there’s the Wild Card game, where two teams with the best records among non-Division winners face off.
