◄ 2010 2012 ► |
The 2011 MLB season , the 110th season of Major League Baseball , opened on March 31, 2011 and ended on October 28, 2011.
During the regular season , 30 teams fought in 162 games each for a place in the play-offs. The 2011 World Series began on October 19, 2011 and ended on October 28, 2011. The defending champions were the San Francisco Giants , who won the 2010 World Series .
The 2011 MLB All-Star Game took place on July 12, 2011 at Chase Field in Phoenix , Arizona .
The annual Civil Rights Game in honor of civil rights was held on May 15 at Turner Field in Atlanta . The Atlanta Braves based there received the Philadelphia Phillies .
Participating teams
For the 2011 season, those responsible made no changes to the participating franchises or league and division assignments.
* Sorted according to the previous year's placements in the respective divisions. The teams that qualified for the postseason in the previous year are colored green .
Stages
2011 will be the last season for the Sun Life Stadium , the home of the Florida Marlins , before they move to the new ball park in Miami in 2012 and are renamed the Miami Marlins.
Spring training
Starting on February 24, 2011, the MLB's pre-season, the so-called Spring Training , where the teams in the Grapefruit League and the Cactus League tested new players, but also brought in their desired core formations. The last game of Spring Training took place on March 30th.
The best team in the Grapefruit League were the Minnesota Twins , who won 62.5% of their games. At the same time, the Twins were also the second most successful team in the American League behind the Kansas City Royals , who won the Cactus League with a 66.7% win rate.
The best value of all National League teams was achieved by the previous year's winners of the World Series, the San Francisco Giants , who finished second in the Cactus League with 65.7% won games.
The Houston Astros were at the bottom of the Grapefruit League (31.4%). At the bottom of the Cactus League table, the Arizona Diamondbacks (32.4%) finished spring training.
Historically, the results of the two leagues in spring training are not a measure of success in the regular season. This was confirmed again in 2011, as Royals and Twins could not play any role in the fight and the postseason, but conversely the Diamondbacks won the NL West before the Giants.

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 31, 2011 to September 28, 2011.
The table positions are responsible for reaching the postseason : The three respective division winners and the second best of the three divisions in terms of winning percentages carry out the championship in the American and National League respectively in two 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 uncommon these days).
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.
In order to at least indicate the development during the season, the table positions of the teams were recorded at the end of April and the end of May. Another milestone is the All-Star-Break , the break in game operations on the occasion of the All-Star Game ; Similar to the autumn championship in football , an intermediate result is determined in the middle of the season. The last interim information is rather arbitrarily related to the date August 31st, in order to be able to assess about four weeks before the end of the season to what extent the respective division was already pre-decided at this point in time (such as in all divisions of the NL) or, if applicable, at this point in time Leading was displaced (as happened in the AL East Division with the spectacular crash of the Boston Red Sox, which achieved only seven wins out of 20 defeats).

Mode and participants
As in previous years, the best four teams play the winners of the American League or National League in the postseason, which then determine the World Series winner in the 2011 World Series.
The Division Series and then the respective Championship Series have been played since September 30th and until October 17th 2011 at the latest. To this end, the three division winners and the best runner-up (so-called wild card) 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).
The wild card winners usually play against the best division winner, i.e. the team with the most wins from the regular season games. However, if the team with the most wins comes from the same division as the wild card winner, the wild card team will play against the second best division winner in their league in order to avoid an intra-division duel.
The participants in the American League were the New York Yankees (winner AL East), Texas Rangers (winner AL West), Detroit Tigers (winner AL Central) and the Tampa Bay Rays (Wild Card). Because of the rule described above, the Rays did not meet the Yankees (with the best record), but the Rangers.
In the National League , the Philadelphia Phillies (winner NL East), the Milwaukee Brewers (winner NL Central), the Arizona Diamondbacks (winner West) and the St. Louis Cardinals (Wild Card) qualified for the postseason.
