There are tons of factors to this as well. Is the team with the worse record really paying attention and adjusting team strategy, starting lineups, etc in the playoffs to target the opposing team? Did the worse team have bad #4 and 5 starters that don't factor in nearly as much in the playoffs? Did the team with the worse record just finish up negro league collections and add Gibson, Robinson, Charleston and Paige right at the end of the season or just get on a hot streak and pull some historical perfects that are difference makers?

Stuff like that can make a huge difference in a 7 game series vs the grind of a 162 game season just like in real life.
