Question
I just posted a question about postseason wildcard rules(If the Wildcard beats #1 team, can they earn homefield advantage by beating the #2 team and having a better record than the remaining team?). The email address that I gave was expired. The correct one is above. Thank you
Jack,
The team with the best record (after the first round of the playoffs) gets the homefield advantage. It doesn't matter if they are the wildcard or not.
Until the World Series - then the league that won the All Star game gets home field advantage - regardless of record.
