Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Expanded Baseball Playoffs - Yea or Nay?

There is a possibility that a team could face four games in four cities against four different opponents: in order, Game 162, Game 163 tiebreaker, Wild Card Knockout Game, Division Series Game 1...That puts a premium not just on winning your division, but also on posting the best record. The team with the best record -- while getting three days' of rest to line up its rotation -- will draw an opponent that will have traveled overnight and used up its best available pitchers just to get into the LDS. Big advantage.
