I like the current playoff system divisions and all

just lower the number of wild card teams to 1 from each league

everybody plays a home and home 7 game series with home field advantage decided by season w/l record and or head to head if necessary

If you aren't going to have unbalanced schedules, there no reason for divisions

you have divisions for increased fan interest

which has more fan appeal being overall 3rd in your league or being a division leader

and you would play division teams more then non division teams with some scattering of playing teams from the other league

all to increase fan appeal

Yes, rewarding mediocrity.
YOU get a playoff spot!
And YOU get a playoff spot!

Fuckin' Oprah over here.

I dont consider it rewarding mediocrity to allow division winners plus 1 wc team to play for a league title

their positions are well earned

I can't help but feel like the same people who say if you don't win your division in college football you don't deserve a chance at a NC are the same ones advocating for wild-card spots in MLB.

At least be consistent.  The moment you allow a 2nd-place team into your playoff, you're rewarding mediocrity.
At least college football's short season allows for some uncertainty, right?  Why bother with 162 games if you're just going to let everyone with a .500 record in your playoff in 3 and 5-game series???

4 out of 15 teams is not allowing just any 500 team in the playoffs in MLB

as far as college football is concerned I feel if a team has lost to a playoff team during the regular season they should not be in the playoff unless they play a 2nd time and win like a ccg

if a team with 1 loss did not win its conference but did not lose to another playoff team during the season they could be considered for the playoff

Have to get Valdez out of there.  He's a mess

Looks like we might finally have a good series this fall!

That video is from 2011.  Hopefully that kid went to therapy and is well past this now.

Did not know Kris Jenner was an Astros fan tho.

I will say, postseason baseball is compelling. Baseball is the one sport where games affect each other due to pitching, so series make way more sense and aren't obvious money grabs. But man, it's too bad they hide the best stuff in October while football is going on.
