Setting long playoff series 'helps' a bit. In my fictional leagues I usually use all seven game series and make the championship series nine games.
Sometimes I use a shorter season 120 or 130 games and make all series nine games. You get a truer sense of who the better teams are the longer the series but upsets still happen.
But really in baseball the difference between an 82 win and 95 win team are not as much as other sports, mostly because so many regular season games are played and the standard deviation between team records is less than in other sports.
