Understanding the Postseason Format

The National League Division Series marks the fierce second round of the MLB postseason. Top-seeded division winners earn a crucial rest advantage while Wild Card survivors fight their way into a demanding best-of-five format.

Games 1 and 2 are hosted by the higher-seeded team.

Game 3 and 4 (if necessary) shift to the lower-seeded ballpark.

A deciding Game 5 returns home to the top seed.

Key Dates and Matchup Progression

The opening round of division games kicks off sharply on Saturday, October 3. Momentum swings quickly, leaving little room for pitching staffs to recover from deep bullpen usage.
