Having a hard time seeing this point.
Top seeds:
1. get a few days off to rest and heal any injuries that comes from a long season
2. get to set their pitching lineup
3. can watch & study their opponent who doesn't get to do the same
4. have home field advantage
5. get to play the weaker seed
then it comes down to head to head performance as it should.
you can't win with all those advantages, no one to blame but yourselves.
and prety sure Baseball has the least amount of postseason teams of the Big 4 sports. Once they start letting in .500 and below teams into the playoff then let's revisit.
