lol wtf, MLB proposing to make the expanded wild card even more of a joke by allowing higher-seed teams to pick which lower-seed teams they play? The expanded wildcard is a joke to begin with, just to manufacture more bullshit for talk shows to speculate on and fill air time from July to September.

Not familiar with the US system what does that mean exactly?

The way major league baseball's postseason used to work was: in each league, the team from each of the geographic divisions (west, central, east) with the best record makes it to the postseason. Additionally, one "wildcard" team from each league would also advance based on the remaining best record.

Since 2022, however, they expanded to having _3_ wildcard spots in each league, and it's such a mess that I'm probably better off deferring to the Wikipedia entry which has a diagram. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Ca...
