I'd be OK with smaller playoffs in MLB if you had a single table per league with a balanced schedule.
But given two of the top two, and three of the top four AL teams are in the AL East, I can't see giving 3/4 AL playoff spots to division leaders as being fair.
Even under the current system Minnesota has a worse record with an easier schedule than 1 team that won't get a wild card spot, but at least it's pretty close.
