And that is just not right. The team with the 2nd best record in baseball should not have to face the hottest pitcher in baseball in a one and done playoff game.
I like Epsteins idea. Play a doubleheader and use the travel day to play another game. Best out of 3. Still punishes the WC teams. Rewards the division winners. Doesn't increase the days. You would see who really is the better team, not who has the hottest pitcher on staff.
Even though we are in the same division, I think most Cardinal fans don't consider a hated rival. You guys play the game the right way. You fans deserve to see winning playoff baseball. It ain't over but it ain't looking good for your team.
