Here is an informative article: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/dailypitch/post/2012/08/mlb-playoffs-2012-schedule-announced/1#.UCUOD7RDzTo

Interesting fact:

One other wrinkle on the Division Series: For this year only, the five-game Division Series will be played in a 2-3 format, with the lower-seeded club getting the first two games at home. That's to eliminate a travel day between potential Games 4 and 5.

This stinks if the Nats end up as one of the top two division winners - they are only assured one home game in the NLDS.
