: 在MLB on Fox的推特以及紐郵的文章看到看到 (引用自Joel Sherman)
: 大聯盟官方正在研議新的季後賽規則，其中包括：
: 1.每聯盟各取七隊打季後賽
: 2.第一輪取三戰兩勝制
: 3.每個聯盟的第一種子免打第一輪
: 4.成績較佳的隊伍可以挑對手打，例如以下這段：
美國的球迷似乎不怎麼喜歡新的制度
"知名美職新聞網站MLB Trade Rumors做的社群民意調查（截至11日中午），
也發現不喜歡此提案的球迷（57％）多於喜歡此提案的球迷（43％）。

另外球員工會會不會反對多打幾場比賽呢?或許此案還不見得會順利過關
不過或許也可以考慮折衷方案 例如可以保留個人最愛的"外卡驟死賽"
再加上聯盟戰績最佳者 可以在分區冠軍賽挑對手
這樣就可以在不增加名額的狀況下 做一些賽制的改革

如果大聯盟官方真的想要四支外卡 也可以考慮讓這四支外卡
進行兩輪的"外卡驟死賽"這樣也很刺激XD
而四支外卡的選擇方式 不見得是單純看整季的戰績
也可以把球季分割成上下半 讓上半季打得不好
但下半季表現特別好的球隊 有機會拿到一張外卡
我想 這些都是可以考慮的作法

: In this concept, the team with the best record in each league would receive a: bye to avoid the wild-card round and go directly to the Division Series. The: two other division winners and the wild card with the next best record would: each host all three games in a best-of-three wild-card round. So the bottom: three wild cards would have no first-round home games.
: The division winner with the second-best record in a league would then get
: the first pick of its opponent from those lower three wild cards, then the
: other division winner would pick, leaving the last two wild cards to play
: each other.
: To use the AL last season as an example, the Astros with the best record
: would have received the bye. The Yankees, with the second-best record, would: have had the choice to pick from among the Rays, Indians and Red Sox. Boston: had the worst record of that group. Would the Yanks pick them or avoid the
: baggage of a series with their rival? It would create a ton of strategy and: interest, and this is what MLB wants to sell. The Twins would then pick next: as the other division winner, and then the A’s with the best wild-card
: record would play the team not chosen by the Yankees or Twins.
: 「以去年為例，假設美聯七支隊伍打季後賽，太空人戰績最佳故免打首輪；戰績第二佳: 的洋基可於光芒、印地安人以及紅襪間挑一隊作為第一輪的對手；接著輪到戰績第三佳: 的分區冠軍雙城挑對手。至於沒被洋基雙城挑到的隊伍就和戰績最佳的外卡隊伍運動家: 對陣。」
: 這樣其實也或多或少解決一戰定生死的風險。而且因為首輪三戰兩勝制，分區冠軍享有: 此輪所有主場優勢，還可挑對手，對球隊來說還是有拼分區冠軍的誘因。這理論上也不: 太會有G163了。
