How to Read the 2026 MLB Standings
A quick baseball standings glossary for the columns fans use most.
GB: Games Back
GB measures the distance between a team and its division leader. A dash identifies the leader; half-games appear when teams have played an uneven number of games.
WCGB: Wild Card Games Back
WCGB measures distance from the final Wild Card spot. A plus value means the team is above the cutoff, while a dash marks the current cutoff club.
L10 and STRK
L10 is the team's record over its last 10 games. STRK shows the current run of consecutive wins or losses, such as W4 or L2.
Home and Away Records
Home and Away split a team's record by ballpark. The comparison quickly shows whether a contender performs differently on the road.
RS, RA and Run Differential
RS is runs scored, RA is runs allowed and DIFF is RS minus RA. Positive run differential means a team has scored more than it has allowed.
How the 2026 MLB Playoff Picture Works
Division position and the Wild Card line determine the 12-team postseason field.
Six teams qualify from each league
The American League and National League each send three division winners and three Wild Card teams. That creates six playoff teams per league and 12 overall.
The two division winners with the best records in each league receive first-round byes. The third division winner and all three Wild Card teams begin in the best-of-three Wild Card Series.
Regular-season results break ties
MLB no longer uses a Game 163 to settle a tie for a postseason place. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker, followed by league-defined regular-season criteria when necessary.
For the official details, see MLB's playoff tiebreaker rules.
