There’s no question that any WC team is extremely dangerous in the post-season, gscottar. To begin with, they almost always have already been playing multiple games under immense pressure and fighting tooth and nail simply in order to qualify. They’re entirely battle tested. They’re almost never subjected to an extended period of down time in which to gather rust and dust. Rest, in my view, is highly overrated and, in baseball, can sometimes be a curse. And lastly, in baseball, the Rockies can post a W over the ’27 Yankees on any given day. It’s for those aforementioned reasons that I don’t, and never will, like the concept of all those WC teams. It’s simply not fair to the teams that have consistently played well enough to have accumulated enough W’s over the course of a long Big League season to be crowned division champs.
