How league seeding works
This view shows how the playoff field would look if the season ended today. The three division winners in each league take seeds 1 to 3 by record, the three best remaining teams fill seeds 4 to 6 as wild cards, and the dashed line marks the cutoff.
Seeds 1 and 2 skip the Wild Card Series.
MLB League standings FAQ
Who has the No. 1 seed in the American League?
The Tampa Bay Rays at 98-64 as of October 30. The No. 1 seed gets a bye to the Division Series and home field.
Who holds the last playoff spot in the American League?
The Chicago White Sox are the No. 6 seed at 84-78. The Texas Rangers (80-82) are first outside the line.
Who has the No. 1 seed in the National League?
The Milwaukee Brewers at 103-59 as of October 30. The No. 1 seed gets a bye to the Division Series and home field.
Who holds the last playoff spot in the National League?
The Philadelphia Phillies are the No. 6 seed at 88-74. The Arizona Diamondbacks (86-76) are first outside the line.
How many teams from each league make the MLB playoffs?
6. Division winners take seeds 1 to 3, then the 3 best remaining records fill the wild card seeds.
Why is a division winner seeded above a wild card with a better record?
League rules seed the three division winners first regardless of record, so a wild card team with more wins can still be the No. 4 seed and play in the Wild Card Series.
What does the dashed line mean?
It is the playoff cutoff after seed 6. Teams above it are in today; teams below are chasing, with games back measured against the No. 6 seed.
