How did playoff clubs fare vs. .500-plus teams?

The MLB postseason field is down to eight -- the Division Series matchups are set in both leagues, and all that's left is for the very best teams in baseball to duke it out head-to-head until one wins the World Series.

The competition is as strong as it gets across the board, from juggernaut teams like the Red Sox, Astros and Yankees, to those that emerged from the gauntlet of down-to-the-wire division races and tiebreaker games in the National League, the Brewers and Dodgers.

So it makes sense, as the Division Series begins, to look back at how these final contenders did in the regular season against that same type of strong competition.
