Speaking of layoffs, how about the 1989 "earthquake" series? A gap of something like 12 days between games 2 and 3.

But under the Costas playoff plan, you could play straight through without days off: begin round 1 the day after the close of the season, and not take a day off between round 1 and the LCS. That would minimize the down time for the team with the bye, and (admittedly) put extra pressure on the winner of round 1. Maybe those two factors even out?

OK, not perfection in the real world, but surely no problem in OOTP. And for me, preferable over wild cards in either world. I don't like wild cards in baseball.
