MLB Postseason

MLB Playoff Bracket Pool

Pick who advances in every series, Wild Card through the World Series — built from the real schedule, and it scores itself.

Free for up to 10 entries. The bracket, the round-by-round scoring and the live leaderboard are included — there is never a per-player fee and we never touch the pot. Past 10, size it with a one-off Contest Pass (25 entries $19, up to 1,000) or a subscription, which also unlock the Pro commissioner tools.

How it runs

Start to finish.

01

Pick MLB Playoffs

One card in the bracket wizard. There is no field to size and no teams to seed — the bracket is read straight out of the real postseason schedule, byes and all.

02

Choose when it locks

The whole bracket locks when that round’s first game starts, like March Madness. Starting part-way through October? Pick the round your pool actually begins at.

03

Everyone picks who advances

Every round is a SERIES, won by the club that takes the series — not whoever wins one game. Players also call how many games it goes: “Astros in 5”.

04

It scores itself

Each series advances the moment a team clinches, straight from the real results. Nothing to tap, nothing to tally.

How it scores

Round-weighted, so the final decides it

2 · 4 · 8 · 16

A correct pick is worth more every round, so the World Series decides the pool rather than a hot Wild Card weekend. Editable if you want your own ladder.

Call the length

Say how many games each series goes. Get it right and it pays a bonus on top — but only if you had the winning club too, because that is one prediction, not two.

A tiebreaker that means something

Level on points? Whoever called the exact length of more series finishes ahead. No “guess the total runs” box, which is unanswerable across a best-of-seven anyway.

What you get

Everything in the box.

  • Built from the real MLB postseason schedule — no seeding, no typing in teams
  • Every round is a series, decided on the clinch rather than one game
  • Rounds not yet set read “winner of” and fill themselves in
  • One lock for the whole bracket, at the first game
  • Start a pool part-way through the postseason
  • Series-length calls as the built-in tiebreaker
  • Scores itself from real results — no commissioner work
  • Free on every plan; add an entry fee to make it a fundraiser
