To any person in an on-line league that plays 3 games per night so 54 days
to finish your season

if you make the playoffs, possibly 2 best of 7 game series
how does it work - does the playoffs start the next day
after the season is over - how are the 7 games played

writing an article for the Ultimate Strat Baseball Newsletter
and this is the first time we could make the playoffs

I'll try to help. Your season ends on a Friday. you get 2 days of rest. First round of playoffs begins with games 1 and 2 on Monday. games 3 and 4 on Tuesday. Game 5 on Wednesday, game 6 on Thursday and game 7 on Friday.
The finals start on Saturday (you get 1 day of rest for rotation purposes) with 2 games, and follow the same format as round 1.

thanks for answering how this works, is this true for all leagues, after the season ends
two day rest, playoff round 1, two games, two games, 1 game, two games - assume
team with best record gets four games at home but looks like the weaker team
gets the first 2 games or is it the stronger team gets the first two and last two games

thank you

It's 2-2-1-1-1. Higher seeded team gets the first 2 and the last 2

The two exceptions are in 24 team and mystery leagues where the first round is best 3-of-5
The playoff formats can be found here.
