During the Regular Season each team shall play 54 series of 3 games each on average for a 162-game season, with the six division winners qualifying for the playoffs along with the two best runners-up in each league.

Following a straight knockout (single elimination) system within each league the two league winners meet in the best-of-seven World Series. The World Series has been competed for since 1901 when the American League was formed, becoming the second Major League alongside the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs (usually shortened to National League).
