If a team makes the playoffs, as structured by the league, after playing 162 games, they have both by talent, and based on the rules, earned their spot participating in the playoffs. The more teams that make the playoffs, the more excitement for the most fans. Both the Diamondbacks and the Rangers spent an extensive time as one of the best teams in their respective leagues. To say they somehow don't belong is preposterous. The league parity and chance for more teams to play for the championship doesn't cheapen the playoffs, it instead enhances the experience for the most possible fans.
