New MLB Division Series Playoff Format Announced

It has been announced that Major League Baseball has changed their division series playoff formats from 2-2-1 (which was established in 1998) to 2-3. The wildcard winning teams will start the series at home while the teams with home field add vantage will finish at home with the last 3 games. The main reasons why the owners voted this way is because it eliminates one travel day and because of the implementation of the additional wildcat team. Now there will be two wildcard teams who will compete Ina 1 game playoff to play a division winner.
