(Technically, there should be a fourth: by points. Several leagues have used a system whereby the season was split, and the clubs in each half awarded points based on their final standing for that half. The clubs with the best point totals overall were the playoff qualifiers.)
Yes but with the chaotic schedules of early baseball there will be a time in which a team with more wins will win over a team with a better win pctg or vice versa. I just dont wanna see a team like the Baltimore Marylands going 6-0 and winning it all.
