"The weirdest regular season in modern baseball history is officially behind us. Get ready for the most unusual postseason you've ever seen.
For the first time ever, Major League Baseball's playoff pool will comprise 16 teams, eight from each league, with the march to the World Series unfolding primarily at neutral sites. After the best-of-three wild-card round, another new wrinkle for 2020, the surviving teams will move into bubble environments to play out the division series, league championships, and World Series, which will take place at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
There will be no home-field advantage after the first round. There may or may not be fans present. And, perhaps most significantly, there will be no off days once each round begins until the World Series. Just like the 60-game regular season that preceded it, the 2020 postseason will be a slog - and a weird one, at that.
This is how the contenders measure up."
