I did some quick math the other day, and the proportion of baseball playoff games relative to regular season games is far lower than the other sports leagues.
NFL playoff games are about 4.8% compared to reg season
NHL playoff games are between 4.5%-8% compared to reg season
MLB playoff games are between 1.07% to 1.77% compared to regular season
They have this drastically long drawn out exhausting play every day season, then rush the playoffs when people actually tune in and the players care.
It’s totally bizarre
