The expanded playoffs are great, actually

The Kansas City Royals have made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2015, doing so via a Wild Card spot like they did in 2014. That is wonderful news for Royals fans, who have descended on Google in droves to search things like “what is going on with the MLB postseason nowadays” because we didn’t actually know. Yes, I included “we” here, because I too had to look up said details a few weeks ago.

The lowdown is that there are three Wild Card teams now, all of whom must partake in a best-of-three Wild Card round alongside the worst of the three division winners.
