At seasons end the league winners get a bye while the 2nd and 3rd place teams play each other with the winner then playing the league winner to see who goes to the World Series. I figured one of the 2 league winners would win the the World Series about 60% of the time but so far a wild card team has won 8 of 12 World Series. I know that is a very small sample size but it will be interesting to see if that trend continues.
One final comment and I'll stop rambling. I generally let the AM controlled everything and 1 of the teams played terrible for the first 5 years but now their lineup looks like HOF. They have Evers, Bresnehan,Collins, Cobb and Ed Walsh but only 1 world series. They should be dominant for a few more years.
Good luck with your league.

Do you play a series between the 2nd and 3rd place teams, or is it a single game?
