The 2019 playoffs will take place over a two-week period. All 9 teams qualify for the playoffs.
The upper-tier playoff features the top three seeds, plus the winner of a play-in series between the #4 and #5 seeds.
The lower-tier playoff features the loser of the #4/#5 play-in series, the #6 and #7 seeds, plus the winner of a play-in series between the #8 and #9 seeds.
Each playoff matchup is a three-game series. Games 1 and 2 are played as a doubleheader, with Game 3 (if necessary) played alone on a separate night.
Each play-in series is a modified three-game series. The higher seed automatically begins with a 1-0 series lead. Games 2 and 3 (if necessary) are played as a doubleheader.
The higher seed gets the choice of home or away in Game 1 and Game 3, while the lower seed gets the choice in Game 2.
