I didn't even realize that's what the format is. I figured if they finished 4th or 5th the winner would play the Yankees. You aren't really rewarding the first place team if the sixth place team happens to win.
I think re-seeding after the wildcard series makes more sense. Or even give the first place team their pick of who they play.
