According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel :

↵In games one through three of the Division Series, the players get 60% of the gate. In addition, 1.6% of the gate goes to the umpires. And then the two teams in the series split the rest 50-50. For the rest of the division series, the players get nothing.↵Hit a walk-off home run in Game Three to keep your team alive in the playoffs? Well, you just made all of your teammates work without compensation. Jerk.
