Yeah, it's not just the AL East either, as the NL East is pretty similar. They can go back to two Divisions and play a balanced schedule, division winners earn berths, and the next 3 best records get the wild card spots regardless of Division. If the NHL only had 5 playoff spots, the Central and Atlantic still send 4 teams to the playoffs.
