Getty Images The 2021 MLB postseason is here, and the LDS round got underway Thursday. In the American League, the Houston Astros have a 2-0 ALDS lead against the White Sox and will try to close them out Sunday. The other ALDS between the Red Sox and Rays is tied, 1-1, after Boston’s win on Friday. In the National League, the Brewers and the Giants notched Game 1 victories on Friday, and the Braves and Dodgers will attempt to even up their respective series on Saturday.
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.
