  American League Division Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division Series was created after the 1993 season when Major League Baseball restructured each league into three divisions, but they were first played in 1995 due to the cancellation of the 1994 playoffs.
Typically, the wild-card team is assigned to play the division winner with the best winning percentage in one series, and the other two division winners play the other series.
However, if the wild-card team and the division winner with the best record are from the same division, the wild-card team plays the division winner with the second-best record, and the remaining two division winners play.

The Yankees were designated the Eastern Division champions due to winning the season series 10-9 against the Red Sox.

More specifically, Major League Baseball ("MLB") refers to the entity that operates North America´s two major leagues, the National League and the American League, by means of a joint organizational structure which has existed between them since 1903.
Major League Baseball is governed by the Major League Baseball Constitution, an agreement that has undergone several incarnations since 1876 then called the NL Constitution, with the most recent revisions being made in 2005.
The 2005 contest, played in Detroit, followed this format, and it is expected that it will remain that way until the MLB says otherwise, since it has become popular with fans but has upset purists over the previous format of the two leagues alternating home-field advantage every other year.

I'm a proponent of the strategy that when all else is equal, go with your gut, and mine says A-Rod is the better pick because he'll steal a handful of bases and has two pretty stable players ahead of him in the lineup in Johnny Damon and Derek Jeter.
Sure, A-Rod had plenty of men on base to drive home last year, and his failures in clutch situations -- think Game 5 of the 2005 American League Division Series -- are a concern, but Damon's addition could give A-Rod a chance at the first 150-RBI season of his career.
Damon and Jeter combined for a.378 on-base percentage; that's tough to beat.
