Exactly how I feel. I get annoyed enough seeing the fifth best team via WC enter the playoffs. Baseball does a great job at eliminating the lesser teams over 162 games. I find there's no challenge or reward in making the playoffs if you expand.
In one of my leagues I almost missed the playoffs as a 96 win team (division winner got 100). This season was exciting because I had to fight for a playoff spot. If we'd done expanded playoffs or multiple WC teams were guaranteed, I would have clinched a spot in May.
Expanding playoffs is the easiest way to make this game as boring as possible.
