With the regular season concluded, all that's left to do is wait for Friday and the postseason.
Here's how it'll look.
American League
The Wild Card Series will be three games all in the same ballpark with no travel. There won't be re-seeding, either, so the winner of the Rays-Guardians series faces the Yankees in the ALDS while the Mariners-Blue Jays winner heads to Houston.
For a full breakdown of the new format, we've got you covered.
National League
As noted, there isn't re-seeding after the first round. It's a locked bracket, so the winner of the Padres-Mets gets the Dodgers in the NLDS while the winner of the Phillies-Cardinals series gets the defending champion Braves.
The individual game times haven't been assigned yet, but we know all four Wild Card Series will be played Friday, Saturday and, if necessary, the clinching Game 3 would be played Sunday.
