"I am pretty satisfied with the current playoff set up. I like the way it emphasizes winning the division, but still keeps enough teams in the hunt to keep some attention on baseball in cities where football tends to draw the attention once the NFL season starts"
Hey fans of a team not good enough to finish first, stay interested. If you can be the best or second best non division winning team we'll let you into the playoffs anyway. Isn't that cool?
And then we'll put your team in a one game sudden death "series" designed to immediately eliminate your team or the other non division winning team. This is to quickly eliminate half the teams we know really shouldn't be in the playoffs anyway. Really, letting your team play post season is a gift.
Then if your wins we'll let your team play the best team in the league because... well, because as stated previously we KNOW your team really shouldn't be in the playoffs and we going to do everything we can to make sure your team is out of them as soon as possible. Did we mention that this series against the best team is also going to be a road series? Don't gripe about it not being fair. After all, your team is basically an imposter.
