While this is very true there is a scenario where WC1 could be at a disadvantage to WC2. Let's say WC1 is in the hunt for a division title and its neck and neck down the wire, while WC2 is multiple games behind in the division but 5 or 6 games up on the next closest contender. In this scenario WC2 could set up its rotation while WC1 could not. Thus, despite being multiple games ahead in the Wild Card race, WC1 would be disadvantaged going into a 1 game playoff. (I'm aware WC1 would have home field advantage).

That will probably happen once in 10 years. Not saying the point isn't valid, but it's not reason enough to change it.

Plus at the end of the day wc1 still didn't win their division so hard to feel bad for them.
