DH will be implemented league wide and what they need to do is just eliminate the divisions. This one game playoff to get into the playoffs is a joke. A 95 win team from a tough division will have to face off against an 83 win team from a joke division just to get into the playoffs?
Here's the solution - Eliminate the divisions. We have 2 leagues, top 4 automatically get into the playoffs. Reduce the regular season to 154 games. Extend the division series to 7 games. Much better and fairer. Why should the better team in the regular season have to play in a one game playoff against a lesser team just to get into the playoffs? The better team has already proved it is superior over a bigger sample size. It's a silly idea to drum up more money.
