So while having an advantage is nice, it does not mean you are going to win, and not having that advantage does not mean you are going to lose.

The 'advantage' however gives you a much better chance to win! The Oakland's and Minnesota's are exceptions to the rule. The playoffs are usually filled with Top 50% payroll teams.

In fact, instead of blaming the Yankees for their high payroll, people should be blaming the teams that pocket the revenue sharing that goes on and keep a low payroll.

To fix both there should a salary cap and salary floor. You can only spend between those two numbers.
