Baseball is first about statistics. The game is played over 160 game season. The best teams are the teams with the best records. But during any week in the course of the season almost any team can be playing well. Even KC.
As such The World Series is a celebration of baseball rather than a statement about the best team. (this is true with most playoff situation in sports) So you will through the years, under the pressure of playoffs, get the total range of play you see in the regular season.
