While there is definitely an element of luck/randomness in a shorter playoff series vs. a 162 season, I do think some teams are built better for the playoffs. Scouting, game plans for specific pitchers etc. become more of a factor.
Talent leads to a great regular season but coaching, game planning, decision making all become more important.
