This one works out OK because the Red Sox and Yankees finished with identical records. But in general, in baseball, a single game is basically a coin toss.
In the NL the Dodgers with 106 wins are at serious risk of elimination by the 90-win Cardinals—in one game! Bad for MLB.

Phenomenal point. The Dodgers need to be playing in a playoff series. Still if I am a Cardinal fan, you feel like you have a chance in 1 game and you have to love that. Even's the playing field a bit, even though we aren't here to even the playing field in the playoffs.

While it’s great for viewership and excitement (similar to March madness) I think most people agree at least a best of 3 should be in place to decide a winner. I feel like a DH one day and a gm 3 the next if neededwould be the best format. still get that win or go home vibe 2x
