I'm ambivalent on the matter. My personal preference is 4/24 (secondarily, 4/26), with two-division leagues and just the division winners qualifying. However, that is what I grew up with, so that undoubtedly influences that preference.
I'm ambivalent simply because MLB is going to do what MLB wants to do. The question becomes at what point does MLB doing what it does spoil my interest in the sport. It hasn't been spoiled yet, but it's always possible some decision will do that.

I agree with expansion to 32 and keeping the postseason teams at 12. That’s 37.5% which probably should be the maximum. Also agree with top three in each division, with two playing three and the winner playing the one seed division winner. But what about those days off for the one seed? Some seem to think that rest and setting up a rotation and home field advantage somehow hurt the one seeds. I don’t agree.
