4 hours agoBring back the one-game Wild Card playoff
Major League Baseball's one-game Wild Card existed for ten seasons from 2012 to 2021 (it was not used in the gross and disgusting 2020 season). In those nine seasons, the top two non-division winners in each league would face off in a one-game playoff to determine who goes on to face the number one seed in the divisional series. While not all of the eighteen Wild Card games were fantastic, many of them were.
