I think they'd need to go back to two Divisions and have two wild card spots that would be awarded to the two teams who didn't win their Division with the best record. Balance out the schedule a bit too. That way you could finish 3rd in the AL East and still make the playoffs.

Keeps the tradition of winning your Division and making the playoffs, and allows all teams a numerically equal shot of winning their Division. Right now with 4 teams in the AL West those teams inherently have a better chance of making the playoffs just due to fewer teams to beat out. Let alone the economic stuff.
