Rough trip to the World Series....Yanks and TB both on the road.
AL bracket is so whacked. You'll have those three beating the heck out of each other. Meanwhile, someone out of the slop that is the AL Central & West is guaranteed to be in the ALCS.
The 3rd wildcard could have a path to the ALCS that goes through 2 teams that are under .500 (more likely 2 teams barely over .500) while the 1st and 2nd wildcards have a ridiculously difficult potential path. I like having division winners get automatic playoff berths but the automatic #2/3 seeds are crap.
Even looking at it from the #1 seed perspective, they'll be facing a much better team than the #2 seed will. That's terrible seeding.
