News: AL Best Record Sets Playoff Schedule
Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports Major League Baseball has informed American League General managers that the team with the best record at the end of the season will chose between two different Division Series playoff schedules.
Silverman notes the difference between the two schedules is the amount of days off during the series, he writes…
“The team with the best record would choose between playing in the Division Series that lasts up to eight days featuring three off days or the one that lasts up to seven days and has two off days.”
According to Silverman, onces a team clinches the best record, they will have one hour to notify Major League Baseball of it’s choice.
Next season the National League team with the best record will get their choice.
