Playoff format for MLB

[neovan]

Is the Division Series a 5 game playoff series? Is it 2-2-1?

What about the League Championship and World Series? How many games and in which format?

iirc:

division: 2-2-1
league: 2-3-2
world: 2-3-2

That is correct

I wonder if that talked about "second wildcard" will show up. I hope not. They should put the division series to a full 7 seven game series and decreased the actual season a few games (like 150 games).

Then everybody's stats will suffer because players will play less games.
I agree the baseball season should be made shorter but im not sure many players will agree with that. Missing 12 games is alot, that is like equivalent to like everybody going on the dl for 15 days. Imagine how many less hits ichiro would get if he only got to play 150 games.
