Question: is alds best of 7?
Answer: The two series winners move on to the best-of-seven ALCS. ... Since 1998, the series has followed a 2-2-1 format, where the higher seed team plays at home in Games 1 and 2, the lower seed plays at home in Game 3 and Game 4 (if necessary), and if a Game 5 is needed, the teams return to the higher seed's field.
