The playoffs are a joke because of the absurd structure of MLB. The league trades integrity for profit generated in the form of bogus divisional races.
A more honest approach would by only conferences and a balanced schedule. That way the 4 playoff teams would be much more likely to be the four best teams in the conference.

Simple solution to his problem: eliminate playoffs. One 30-team league, best record is champion.
Anything else and you have a substantial chance of naming a champion that isn't the best overall team.
