After an abbreviated regular season, the 2020 MLB playoffs are here! Like just about everything else happening in the world this year, the postseason will look quite a bit different. For starters, there are more teams involved, with eight clubs representing each league. The structure is a bit different as well — the Wild Card round is now a best-of-three series, before we move onto the traditional Division and Championship Series formats.
The 2020 MLB playoff bracket is set‼️
