I understand with the declining popularity of baseball they have to keep as many teams as possible in the hunt for a playoff spot, so I have no issue with the Wild Card, and I do like the one-game playoff.

Yeah, I love that so many teams can be potentially fighting up until the end of the season and making meaningfull moves instead of coasting into off season. I just don’t dig having four or five days off for the division winners. I guess they do it that way in case there are multiple ties for the wild card and division winner spots. It’s a 162 game season that is basically played almost everyday, and relies on game speed repetition. I’m not sure burning your ace makes up for trying to stay sharp with simulated games. Of course this might not happen again for years, but we’ll see.
