Gimmick bullshite for ratings like I said.
It was made to give a disadvantage to the WC team and a reward for winning the division. Having to start your ace in the WC game and then likely only getting to throw them one time in the 5 game alds is a huge disadvantage. The game 7 feel and more meaning regular season were just extra bonuses.

First of all, no that's not why it was made. It was made because there were actual ties at the end of the season so they had one game tiebreakers to see who made the playoffs. People liked the drama so they came up with a way to do it every year even when there wasn't a tie.
Second, you shouldn't be punished for being the wildcard team. The wild card often has a better record than at least one of the division winners so why should they be punished? Winning your division doesn't really mean shite besides saying you're the best team in that division. The division winner already gets home field. That's enough advantage.
If you feel like you need to put a disadvantage in for the wildcard team, then you probably shouldn't even have the wildcard team in the playoffs to begin with.
