How best regular seasons in MLB history translate to playoffs

It's no exaggeration to suggest that Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani had historically great regular seasons in 2024. These were legendary seasons. Seasons we'll be remembering decades from now.

Judge hit .322 with 58 home runs and 144 RBIs and nearly won the Triple Crown. The New York Yankees captain was the first player to slug .700 since 2004 and his wRC+ -- weighted runs created, which is league- and park-adjusted -- was the seventh highest of all time, only behind seasons from Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.
