If you haven’t heard by now, Rob Manfred is considering adding onto the current playoff structure. I guess the Wild Card single lightning round game didn’t punish the top non-division winners enough. Now the bottom two division winners in each league, along with the top four in the wild card race, will play a best-of-three opening round series to advance to the Division Series. After that, the division winner with the best record gets to select their next opponent. As if last year’s playoff series loss wasn’t bad enough, under this structure the Braves could have been bounced in two games by the Diamondbacks or worse, by the Mets.
Does Rob Manfred Hate Baseball?
