Central- ATL, NSH, MIA, TBR, HOU, TEX, KCR, COL
West- LAD, LAA, SFG, SDP, ARI, SEA, POR, LVA

4 divisions of 8 teams each with 8 WCs (preserving the current 12 PS teams) would be good, but it wouldn't maximize the # of teams staying in the race late like the 8x4 structure would and unfortunately MLB probably cares more about that than having the best teams make it.
