Yup. It makes me laugh too because yesterday I saw a bunch of "I wish the Blue Jays were managed like Arizona" tweets, even though the Blue Jays had 5 more wins, and 84 wins would have not made the playoffs in any full season before this one.

But with the expanded playoffs it gives teams an incentive to chase a wild card spot to just get in, and then really anything can happen in a 3 or 5 game series.

I'd have to look but I'd wager a guess that three 90 win teams and an 84 win team is the lowest combined win total for the championship series ever.

The four teams left had 354 regular season wins, and they are the ones that beat the top 4 teams that had 404 regular season wins, with a 1-11 record.
