It's been 2-3 format before, and the playoffs went just fine. There's actually a lot of pressure on the team with the first two games at home to win them both, or else at the very best they'll probably have to play a winner-take-all Game 5 on the road.
I know people will say that there's that same pressure on that team to win Games 3 and 4 under the 2-2-1 format, but in that case it's usually against the other team's 3rd and 4th starter. For the wildcard winner this year, under the 2-3 format, they'll have to win both games against the 1st and 2nd starter, while their own ace probably isn't available because he likely pitched the wildcard playoff.
I'm not saying I don't like 2-2-1 better, but it's all just something to think about.
And Major League Baseball has screwed things up much worse before in the LDS. Who remembers the awful format from 1995-1997? If you don't, look it up.
