I don't know exactly how I feel about the changes to occur in the upcoming seasons. The Astros are going to the American League West and there will be 2 wildcard spots for the playoffs per league.
Now there will be 5 teams in each division and each team will have an equal chance to win a playoff spot. But now every team will not play on the same day except during interleague play. If there are 15 teams and each team plays each other, one team will not be playing at all times. If opening day series is 3 games, then would one team play 3 days later?
The wildcard addition was a good idea. The two wildcard teams will play each other in a playoff round in a series of 3 or 5 games. The winner will move onto the alds.
I think baseball should make a 176 game season. To begin one week early and end one week later. Also scheduled double headeders should be scheduled on every Sunday and a scheduled off day every Monday. This will make room for make up games, give rookies and bench players a chance to play, and rest players efficiently.
