I think it's somewhat disappointing that an 84-78 team is going to play a 90-72 team in the World Series. I know that's the kind of thing we can expect to see more of with expanded playoffs, and in fact I will enjoy watching these games and certain of the players on these teams. I would prefer the teams with the best records, or close to the best, make the Series. Just my preference, shaped by a lifetime of fandom. YMMV, and probably does.
Of course, if the Tigers go 84-78 next season and make the World Series, I will definitely throw this opinion into the dustbin of history. 😁
