The Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series on Tuesday night, taking down the Houston Astros in Game 6. It's the first championship in 26 years for the Braves, who never faced an elimination game in the 2021 postseason.

The 2021 MLB playoffs marked a return to some sense of normalcy for the sport. Gone were the neutral sites, the fan-less games, and the 16-team format; the concepts of home-field advantage and sellouts are back, and so is the 10-team field. 

So what did the MLB playoff bracket look like? Below you'll find the results for every round of the postseason.
