Baseball just isn't a sport that lends itself to meaningful evaluation or results over a game or two. There's too much randomness.
I'd be like if the KC Chiefs went 14-2 but then had to play a 10 minute football game against a 6-10 team in the playoffs to advance It'd really be a coin clip, like the baseball playoffs are, and would lead to very unsatisfying results and random champions.
The baseball playoffs are already a coin flip, but at least it's difficult to get there so the regular season has meaning - a competition to get into that coin flip
