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 table positions are responsible for reaching the postseason : The three respective division winners and the team second best after the winning percentage play the championship in the American and National League respectively 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. GB is expressed to 0.5 games: For example, if team A has 10 wins and 5 defeats, but team B 9 wins and 5 defeats, a win of its own (without defeat by A) would lead to a tie.
The teams that qualified for the postseason are colored green. PS = postseason; Number = Rank on seeding list
W = Wins (victories), L = Losses (defeats),% = Winning Percentage , GB = Games Behind (behind the leader: number of necessary defeats for the leader while simultaneously winning)
Postseason
Mode and participants
From the beginning of October, the Division Series and then the respective Championship Series will be played. To do this, the two wild card winners first meet in a game. The three division winners and the wild card team meet in two division series matches in the best-of-five mode ( ALDS or NLDS = American or National League Division Series). 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).
