I do not know why the MLB do not shortened the regular season by 10 games (to 152) or fewer and extend the playoff games to 7 games for all the series incl the wildcard games. There is so much positives that can come from it:
  • more gate revenues
  • more tv revenues
  • all pitchers will get used fairly and rested well inbetween rotations.
  • fear of tired arms will be alleviated from a shortened seasom by 10 games-that is 2 series of pitching rotation saved for playoffs
