Really makes the wildcard almost unfair for the Dodgers since they have the second best record in the whole league. They should be able to beat the Cardinals in the WC playoff game but in a different system they’d be seeded second and go right into the NLDS. I guess they’d have the advantage against Milwaukee or whoever they end up playing.
Well the problem is if they beat the Cardinals then they play the Giants in the NLDS - really unfair that the two best team don’t meet until the NLCS. I think baseball will look into reseeding playoff teams based on records and not “seed”
I agree especially since some divisions *cough* NL East *cough* AL Central *cough* are continually weaker than other divisions & teams who end up not making the playoffs. Different leagues, but the Blue Jays, Mariners, and A's will all finish the season with better records than the Braves who make the playoffs while the former don't.
Agreed, the playoffs start early. At least 6 teams really need a win today.
That seems correct. Not sure but I think Boston would get to host it?
That’s disappointing I was hoping the Sox would lose. Ah well.
, I’m glad they’re in. But today’s results were the least interesting outcome.
Yeah, I was really hoping for maximum tie-breaker chaos. And for any team's pitcher to have to sweat it out against the Jays' batting order.
Loved to see the upset! Now hopeful we see another one tonight!
What in the ever loving hell is that ice-cream truck noise going on all fucking game?
