You have four divisions in each league, correct? I'd vote for eight teams in each league, with the four division winners playing four wildcards. It's nice and symmetrical, plus I don't like byes, especially in baseball.
I do kind of like your NCAA-esque idea of matching up wildcards, though. If you went to three divisions per league, you could do a 14-team playoff where the division winners all get double byes and the four wildcards in each league have a little mini-tournament amongst themselves.
And I know you already picked the series length, but I really like making each ground progressively longer...ie, best-of-3 wildcard, best-of-5 division series, best-of-7 LCS, and best-of-9 World Series.
