I agree 100 percent ... my only problem is, let's say you win like 95 games but finish behind someone with like 98 wins ... but you still have the second-best record in the entire league ... and you're like 5 or 6 games ahead of the No. 2 wild card ... then some crazy s--t happens like last year to the Tigers, where Verlander got rained out twice in the playoffs.

It comes down to one game and you lose, just doesn't seem like your overall body of work is rewarded for having the second-best record in the entire league.

I really liked the wild card format how it was.
