no because it's a playoff game
even though it's just one game it is a playoff game

Nice. Bosox Nation, the voters have chosen an incorrect answer. Report It

yes they do, the playoff game is considered part of the regular season, it is not part of the post season games. christina's answer it incorrect, sorry chrissie, but you dont know your baseball rules.

Yes.

True in 1946, 1948, 1959, 1962, 1978, 1980, 1995, 1998, 1999, and 2007. (And maybe a few others, but I think that's all of them.)

Ed: and 1951 (how'd I forget that one?).

Absolutely YES. Any games played to break regular-season ties are counted as part of the regular season. Tomorrow will be Game #163 for both the Padres and Rockies. All statistics are counted in players' regular-season stats.

I am ~~100.00% sure of this~~. One example is in the link below.

1 game tie-breaker games DO count towards the regular season stats. Technically they aren't the playoffs, they are an extension of the regular season. 162 games is not set in stone. While the 1 game tie-breakers are rare, it is not uncommon for rained-out games not involving any playoff scenerios to never be made up leaving some teams w/less then 162 regular season games.
The rest of the playoffs are a completely different season & do not count towrds regular season stats.
