The American League and National League winners were determined between October 1 and October 20, 2013. To this end, the two wild card winners first met in a game. The three division winners and the winner of the wild card game met in two division series matches in best-of-five mode ( ALDS or NLDS = American or National League Division Series). Then the winners of the Division Series matches played the best-of-seven from the respective league champion ( ALCS or NLCS = American or National League Championship Series ).
For the Boston Red Sox, reaching the World Series was particularly emotional, as the city of Boston had been traumatized by the attack on the Boston Marathon a few months earlier. At home games of the Red Sox, the pattern "B Strong" (English: "as strong as the city of Boston") was mowed in the lawn of Fenway Park , with which the city of Boston showed its solidarity with the victims.
Since the MLB All-Star Game 2013 had been won 3-0 by the American League, the Boston Red Sox (representatives of the American League) had the privilege of a fourth home game.
The following results were found in the postseason:
