If MLB went to a 16 team playoff, but gave the higher seeded team an automatic 1-0 series lead in the first round (which they do in Japan) that would be awesome.

No it wouldn't. Using a tournament to decide a champion works great for hockey and basketball. In baseball where your starting pitcher only plays once every four games, it's not so good.
I want that long season to decide as much as possible when it comes to baseball. Give me 4 playoff teams in each league, make every series a best of 7.
