How will the MLB playoffs work in 2023?

What is the new MLB playoff format?

Major League Baseball introduced a new expanded playoff format in 2022. Twelve teams (six from each league) make the postseason, with the top two division winners receiving playoff byes. The winning teams in each Wild Card round will begin the Division Series on the road. The Division Series remains a best-of-five series, while the League Championship Series and World Series are still best-of-seven. 

As has been the case since 2017, whichever team had a better regular-season record will have home-field advantage in the World Series. For example, suppose the Los Angeles Dodgers meet the Minnesota Twins in the 2023 World Series. The Dodgers would host Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 (if necessary) because they finished the regular season with more victories.

How do the MLB wild card playoffs work?

The 2023 MLB Wild Card Round features eight total teams, four in each league. The No. 3 seed in each league (the division winner with the worst record, so the Minnesota Twins in the American League and the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League) will host the No. 6 seed (Toronto Blue Jays and Arizona Diamondbacks, respectively) in a best-of-three series. The No. 4-seeded Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies will respectively host the No. 5-seeded Texas Rangers and Miami Marlins in a different best-of-three series.  If two or more teams are tied for a playoff spot at the end of the regular season, their rankings will be determined by a mathematical tiebreaker system, with head-to-head record being the first tiebreaker.

What are the MLB schedule changes for 2023?

As part of the new collective bargaining agreement, the 2023 MLB season will feature a balanced schedule similar to that used in the NBA and NHL. Let’s use the New York Yankees as an example to demonstrate how the new schedule works.

• Outside of the 2020 COVID season, teams traditionally played 76 games against divisional opponents. For example, the Yankees would play the Blue Jays, Orioles, Red Sox, and Rays 19 times (across six series) per season. Now, that 76 has decreased to 52, meaning the Yankees will only see their division rivals 13 times (across four series) per year. 
• Each league has 15 teams, with five in each division. So how often will the Yankees face the likes of the AL Central’s Cleveland Guardians or the AL West’s Texas Rangers? Great question. Teams will play six games each against six league opponents, and seven games against four other league opponents, equaling 64 total intraleague games; this is actually slightly down from the 66 of years past. Sticking with the Yankees, the Bronx Bombers will play six games against the Guardians (April 10-12 in Cleveland and May 1-3 in New York) and seven against the Rangers (April 27-30 in Texas and June 23-25 in New York). 
• Sticking with the Yankees, the Bronx Bombers and every other American League East team faced all National League Central teams in 2022. This year, the Yankees will play 46 total games against every National League team, including a four-game home-and-home series against the crosstown Mets, their natural rival. The 46 interleague games are up from 20 in 2022.
• In short: The Yankees will play 52 divisional games, 64 intraleague games, and 46 interleague games, resulting in 162 total games.
