Notes:
-This is the first time we will see a team with a record below .500 in the MLB playoffs (Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros)
- Does the bracket remind you a little bit of the NCAA Basketball Tournament? That's because it has a very similar setup. The first round games will be played at home sites of the higher seeded team. Then, the team that advances out of each of the 3-game first-round series plays in a divisional series at one of the four regional sites; Arlington and Houston in the AL, San Diego and Los Angeles in the NL. The championship series for each league will be played in San Diego (NL) and Arlington (AL), with the World Series being contested in Arlington.
-With that said, this will be the first year in MLB history where neither team will have home field advantage in the World Series.
