Rangers and Astros both sitting at 78-80 with four games left for each. If both teams lose just two more games we will get our first ever sub .500 division winner. Truly the shite mountain of baseball

One of them will host a playoff series, too.

MLB needs to change their playoff format.

Thank goodness they will play a 3 game series in the playoffs to determine the better team. The 162 games they just played isn’t nearly enough competition to settle it.

I think they either need to go to 2 divisions or 4 divisions. My preference would be 2 divisions.

Yes. I have always hated Division winners getting a guaranteed spot in the playoffs, much less, get to host. If anything, you can have the division winners and three wildcards, but seed them 1-6 based on records. Yankees would be the two seed and get a bye; instead, they get a four seed because they were unlucky enough to be in the same division as the team with the best record. Garbage.

ETA - Even if divisions were eliminated, the AL is so bad, that the sixth best team would still Houston/Texas.

Win your division and it doesn't matter

That's always the way it's been in baseball
