I hate one game playoffs. The concept disgusts me.

@forecasterenten

Would you rather see a 97 win team miss out on the postseason entirely? This is a 3 hour, high revenue coin toss.

I actually would like a 3 or 5 game playoff... I'm perfectly comfortable with two wild cards...

Does that apply to football and basketball too?

@ForecasterEnten

I don't really watch basketball... Football of course has many fewer games, so shorter playoffs makes sense to me.

@ForecasterEnten

think play in. Then everyone needs to win something to play in the baseball playoffs

@ForecasterEnten

There is a bright side. It guarantees that at least two playoff games will have a game 7 type of atmosphere.

@ForecasterEnten

I'm with you. Too random. WC teams fortunate to get in, but in sport with 160+ games it seems like they could afford 3.

@ForecasterEnten

thanks for sharing Harry Enten, have a great Saturday :) (insight by commun.it)
