Back in April, I started with 128 teams, including every World Series champion, vying for the title of Champion of Champions. After a 90 game schedule, the field was cut in half, and we're onto brackets now.
That field is down from 64 to 56 following the first part of this round. I broke it up this round into four parts because of the sheer number of games, but I'm not advancing to the second round until this round is complete. So far, we've had mostly chalk, though a pair of six-seeds have advanced already.
For this round and the next two, home field advantage goes to the higher seed based on group finish in a 2-2-1 format. Based on the rules of my simulator, lineup rules are determined by whoever the home team is, so any game hosted by a 1973-or-later American League team will use the DH; every other game will have the pitcher hitting ninth.
