The International League is divided into three divisions: North, South and West. The Buffalo Bisons play in the North Division, along with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, Pawtucket Red Sox, Rochester Red Wings (Minnesota Twins), Syracuse Chiefs (Washington Nationals), and Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs (Philadelphia Phillies). The teams play a total of 144 +/- games during the regular season, after which is a four team playoff (the three division winners plus one wildcard team). In the playoffs, the North Division Champion always plays the wildcard team in a 5-game series, while the South and West Divisions compete in the same fashion. The winners of those series compete for the Governor's Cup in another five game series. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees were last year's Governor's Cup Champions, defeating the Durham Bulls in four games, the last of which being a 20-2 rout.Click here to see all of the teams, their respective divisions, and last year's regular season records.
