If the teams that play at such a high % all year long (like the Mets and Yankees) cant beat a team like Houston or St. Louis in the playoffs, they arent for real. Wildcard teams have won how many of the world series since the inception of the rule? I personally like the rule. It provides another late season race and gives us some reason to watch the last few weeks when most of the divisions are all wrapped up.
I cant see how you cant like the Astros to be competitive in the palyoffs with their 1-2-3 starters, all coming in hot, and their offense coming in hot too.
Please explain how you cant take them as a threat.
