Baseball Playoffs

First of all why the hell do you play 162 games and then only 4 teams from each league make the playoffs? Baseball needs to add at least 2 more teams to each league. And yes if they had this in place the GIANTS would have made the playoffs this year.
Short prop:
6 best teams from each league into playoffs.
Seeds 1 and 2 get a bye first round.
Division winner 3 plays weakest wild card that is from different division.
Other 2 wild cards play each other. Basically make baseball playoffs the exact way NFL playoffs work but baseball only has 3 divisions ala the NFL 10 years back.

Playoff Predictions:
Angels over the Red Sox: Boston has better pitching and has dominated angels in the past. Angels have homefield and are due a first round win. Angels in 4.

Yankees over Twins: Jeter is playing unreal, Arod didn't choke in the first playoff game, the rotation is solid and the offense is too good. Yankees in 3.

Cardinals over Dodgers: I made this pick before Holliday's dam error and probably should change it but there is no reason the slumping dodgers should win this series. Cardinals in great comeback in 5!

Rockies over Phillies: I am not really sure about this series. Rockies have been slumping a little bit at end of season but Phillies have not really wowed me all season. Phillies have better rotation but that should not matter in Coors.


Yankees over Angels- 6
Rockies over Cardinals- 6
Yankees over Rockies - 5
