MLB Playoff Expansion

     The MLB plans on adding two more playoff teams on each side of the bracket.  The expansion of the playoffs to the 10 team version will add one more set of games before the division series starts.  The two wild card teams on each side will play each other in one game to decide who will move on to the division series.  I think that this is a good idea for the MLB to expand their playoffs because it allows fans to see more games and allows two more teams to experience the playoffs that year.  One thing that i think may confuse people and may not be liked by the players is that it is just a one game series.  Many people and players may feel that it would be more reasonable to have the to wild card teams play a best of three series. Their is a lot of work and planning that goes into traveling for a game and preparing.  MLB teams do not usually play one game series during the season they play them in groups of three or four games.  Why have a one game series where the team that loses goes home when most other games in the season consist of three or for game series.  During the playoffs the are not any one game series so why change that now.  While I think that it is a very good idea of the MLB to expand their playoffs to 10 teams I also think their are things that may work better if they are changed.  We will have to see if the system works this year when the playoffs roll around or if things will need to be changed.
