One Game Playoffs Are Unfair To Everybody


The Yankees season is done and that's a good thing (btw, anyone who bought into that "We Play For CC" mantra is just as stupid as the guy who said it). But to be fair, one-game, win-or-go-home playoffs just aren't right for teams who've just played a grueling 162-game regular season. I like the wild-card because it gives teams who had great seasons, but didn't win their division thanks to a superior team who happened to play in the same division, a chance to still compete for a championship. But something's gotta change to make and my suggestion is to convert the one-game playoff into a best-of-three series with the team with the better record getting game 1 at home and if necessary, game 3 too. May not be ideal logistically, but it's a hell of a lot better than what we have now.
