Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 2359705, member: 767"] The one thing I was going to say was that I guess there might be a little bit more interest in two 95 win teams battling it out as opposed to say 2 88 win teams, but I think that's super marginal. Also, with the new 2 wild card format, it's kind of rare to see teams totally coast in, as there are benefits even to finishing with the #1 overall record (you face a wildcard team that has already used some of their best pitchers). Plus, there could be a lot of years with no real races where everyone is coasting in and there are no real races, which would really take baseball out of the news in September. I really think the second wild card has really helped; it has put a lot of incentive on winning the division. I'm not sure I would be for any more expansion of the playoffs, I think it's a pretty compelling format now. [/QUOTE]
