The MLB playoffs currently include a total of 12 teams, with six teams from the American League and six teams from the National League. This includes the three division winners and three wild card teams from each league. The top two division winners in each league receive a bye past the first round and advance directly to the Division Series, while the remaining teams compete in the Wild Card round, which is a best-of-three series. Winners from the Wild Card series then move on to the Division Series, followed by the League Championship Series, and finally the World Series between the champions of each league.
