True.

I've been thinking about the whole best team doesn't always win thing. It's true, but not as much as say in the nfl, nba generally the best team does imo.

But the teams that make the playoffs in baseball are always the 5 best teams of each league. It's such a long season of sample size, you get the outliers out of the way.

So no, the absolute best team doesn't always win, but the teams in the playoffs are generally pretty close in terms of how good they are. So it's not as crazy as a Valparaiso winning a championship (ncaa tourney is a crapshoot).
