The whole playoff structure is stupid in MLB. To me having the divisional series as a best of 5 is even more egregious. But its all dumb.
You have two divisional winners that play a mickey mouse best of three, you have four playoff teams that don't get a single home game, you have thousands of fans that passionately follow their team all year only to get stuck with their playoff series during the work day on short notice, to the point where a stadium is 2/3's full, and the best finishing teams in the league could be be out of the playoffs in 3 games in a silly best of 5.
Just goofy stuff all around.
