Frequently Asked Questions

How are MLB playoff odds calculated?

MLB playoff odds on In The Playoffs are calculated by running 100,000 Monte Carlo simulations of the remaining regular season schedule every day. Each simulation uses adjusted team strength ratings (based on runs scored and allowed), home-field advantage, and current standings to project every remaining game. The percentage of simulations in which a team makes the playoffs is their playoff probability.

How many teams make the MLB playoffs?

12 teams make the MLB playoffs each season — 6 from the American League and 6 from the National League. Each league sends 3 division winners (AL/NL East, Central, West) plus 3 Wild Card teams. The two division winners with the best records get a first-round bye; the other four teams play in the best-of-three Wild Card Series.

What is the MLB Wild Card?

The MLB Wild Card is a playoff spot awarded to the three non-division-winner teams with the best regular season records in each league. Wild Card teams enter the postseason as seeds 4, 5, and 6 and play in the Wild Card Series, a best-of-three round against seeds 3, 4, and 5 respectively.

Which MLB teams are most likely to make the playoffs in 2026?

The MLB playoff odds for all 30 teams in the 2026 season are updated daily on In The Playoffs.
