Maybe...maybe not.
You'd have two 100 win teams that would have got an easier first round match up, and play a 7 round series.
You need to move to a 154 game regular season but it would make perfect sense.

Play each other interleague team two times (2 games x 15 other teams - 30 games)
That's a 154 games schedule - which is the same as prior to 1962.
Then you have a 16 team playoff with 4 best of 7 series.
Trade 8 regular season games for up to 9 more playoff games potentially and a better chance at making the playoffs. Plus for the interleague game you can alternate road and home each year, so every team goes to every city at least once every two seasons.
