Do you consider the one game wild card a playoff game?

Nice try. NFL is not the same. All playoffs are one shot deals

The Yankees are making the playoffs this season.

Every analysis will agree with me.

I win. Again.

The following wild-card teams have won the World Series: the Florida Marlins, in 1997 and 2003; the Anaheim Angels, in 2002; the Boston Red Sox, in 2004; the St. Louis Cardinals, in 2011; and the San Francisco Giants, in 2014. Thus, three consecutive titles, from 2002 to 2004, were won by a wild card- (They should do like the NBA and seed teams base on Records - Why should the Indians get rewarded? Yankees going be 40 games over 500 and have 2 play A 1 game elimination -_- zZz

Could be a Yanks Astros wild card game

I love it. Puts major emphasis on winning your division. I can remember years where Yanks/Red Sox late in the season meant nothing because both teams were locked into a playoff series anyway.

Win your division, and if you don't, you should be happy you're in the playoffs anyway. Plus, what's better than a one and done?

So Giants are only team to win one-game Wild Card Playoff and then win World Series.

Seems about right LT -

Let's not forget you aren't in the playoffs until you win the wild card play in game. Getting into the wild card game is not getting into the playoffs.

It’s a joke

No idea why they have it

[danwinkler]

I don't

Nope. It should be atleast 3 games. Make it 5 inning game if you need it to be short. But 1 game to decide the fate after 162 games is terrible.
