It is whoever wins each of the three divisions in both American and National leagues plus whoever has the best record of the three divisions wins the wild card. This puts four teams in the playoffs.

Usually the team with the best record plays the team with the worst record and 2nd best plays 3rd best.

Keep in mind that the playoffs are not as real world as the regular season because it is only 5 or 7 games, so many upsets have occured in the past.
