The 2021 MLB postseason is in full swing, and we know our final four teams in this year’s postseason field. The Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves both advanced to the LCS round on Tuesday, knocking out the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers, respectively. The Astros edged the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the ALCS on Friday. The Braves will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a rematch of last year’s NLCS with the series opener set for Saturday. The Dodgers edged out the San Francisco Giants in Game 5 of the NLDS.
MLB used a 16-team postseason format during the pandemic-shortened 60-game season a year ago. This season they’re going back to the usual 10-team format. As a reminder, the three division winners in each league advance directly to the League Division Series. The non-division winners with the two best records meet in the Wild Card Game, with the winner advancing to face the team with the league’s best record in the LDS. The LDS is a best-of-five, then the League Championship Series and World Series are both best-of-sevens.
