I agree with you if the playoff series are 3 or 5 games. It’s so damned stupid and it always comes down to one great starter having one bad inning or one offense going cold for one game.
I would do a radical solution: shorten the season to 148 games, have 16 teams get in, and have the first two series 7 games and the last two 9. I like playoffs, but let’s make the series actually long enough so that the corrections even out. That’s just me though.
