Regular season

Brief explanation of game operations and table structure

The AL and NL are each divided into three divisions for game operations. The allocation is based on regional criteria: East, Central and West Division. The game will run from March 20 to September 29, 2019.

The table positions are responsible for reaching the postseason : The three respective division winners and the two other best teams according to the winning percentage will play the championship in the American and National League in three rounds. The respective champions then meet in the World Series.

The ranking of the teams in the table results during the season from the current ratio of wins to games overall as the so-called winning percentage . The reason for this is the uneven distribution of the games over the calendar, so that some teams have played three or more games more than others. For example, the balance of team A with 15 wins and 15 defeats (.500 expressed as the corresponding percentage) is considered to be exactly equivalent to the balance of team B, which achieved 16 wins and 16 defeats at the same time. However, this is irrelevant for the final tables, since at the end of the season all teams had played the 162 season games that have been common since 1961. Therefore, it is sufficient to state wins and defeats (draws are not common).

With the indication GB ( Games Behind ) it is documented how big the gap between a chaser and the first in the table is. This expresses how many victories the pursuer would theoretically need with simultaneous defeat of the leader in order to achieve a tie. The specification GB is expressed to 0.5 games: For example, if team A has ten wins and five defeats, but team B nine wins and five defeats, a win of its own (without a defeat by A) would lead to a tie.

Mode and participants

From the beginning of October, the Division Series and then the respective Championship Series were played. To this end, the two wild card winners first met in one game. The three division winners and the winner of the wild card game met in two division series matches in the best-of-five mode ( ALDS or NLDS = American or National League Division Series). The wild card winners played against the best division winner, i.e. the team with the most wins from the regular season games.

The winners of the Division Series matches then play the respective League Champion in a best-of-seven procedure ( ALCS or NLCS = American or National League Championship Series).
