The creator explains the format of the MLB Postseason. She starts by highlighting the excitement of October baseball, then details the structure: 12 teams, seeding based on records, the top two seeds in each league getting a bye (naming the specific teams), and the Wild Card round (best-of-3 series). She then mentions interesting storylines for the current season, including teams seeking their first title and specific player narratives, before concluding with a call to action to fill out an MLB bracket online and watch the games on NBC and Peacock.

NO TIME LIKE OCTOBER
There is no time like October and nothing that compares to postseason baseball. And what makes October so special is that once the postseason starts, any team can win. So if you're looking to get up to speed, here's how the format works. 12 teams make the postseason, six from the American League and six from the From there, we see teams based on their regular season records with the division winners earning the top seeds. The top two seeds in each league receive a buy that sends them straight to the division series. So in the National League, that is the Dodgers and the Brewers. In the American League, that is the Guardians and the Rays. And this is a very exciting year because two of those top teams, the Brewers and the Rays, are still looking for their first Worse Series title. The other eight teams then head into the wild card round. It's best of three series rank all three games are played at the higher seeds home ballpark. So win two games, you move on, lose two, and your season is over. From there, the wild card winners advance to the division series, then the championship series, and then ultimately, the worse series. And like I mentioned earlier, there are plenty of storylines to follow this October. We have teams still searching for their first world series title, a Cubs team led by MVP front runner, Pete Tier Armstrong, the Dodgers looking for a chance to three peat, something that hasn't been done since 2000, And the White Sox worse at the center of one of the biggest comeback stories in sports right now. So with October baseball here, make sure to head to mlb.com/bracket rank make your bracket selections before the first wild card game. And don't miss the first round starting tomorrow on NBC and Peacock. Happy October baseball, and as always, go show off this season.
