Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4396982, member: 1969"] Two of those Giants teams won 94 and 92 games and won their division. They were legit playoff teams in those 2 years and had clutch performers over sustained period for whatever reason. But baseball for the most part is the most random of the big 4 playoffs (NHL, MLB, NFL, NBA)... in part because the difference of win% between the 12 teams is not that much. Typically more variance in regular season win%'s in other leagues. Its part of the reason I wasn't that keen on baseball expanding beyond 10 teams. Typically there was less lower tier teams that won pre 1994 because there was only 4 teams making the playoffs-- but even then the AL West would tend to still send a terrible team to represent it and they even won twice in 3 years.
