I can't find the tweet right now, but I saw it last night and yes this is the lowest combined win total ever for a final four (162 game season). Also the first time there hasn't been a team over 90 wins in the LCS since the format started in 1969. And I think this guarantees further playoff expansion, I think when they get to 32 teams it'll be 9 teams in each league get in. The product will obviously be even worse, but for MLB the thought of both disincentivizing tanking and getting 20-24 teams having playoff hopes deep into September is going to be too much ($$$) to pass up.
