The Orioles and the A's are tied for the 2 WC spots today. I'm going to be pissed if the Orioles end up beating out the A's by 1 game to claim the #1 WC spot only to lose the 1 game playoff with them and not make it to the division series.
Just doesn't feel right, regardless who that happens to.

Basically. At least it makes winning the division matter. And my case for the expanded playoffs is that 2nd place non-qualifiers already get a (albeit small) playoff share anyway. They have since the playoffs expanded. So at least now the one game makes more of them earn it. Not that it covers all of them, but still.
