Eh.... the DBacks would have won the Central and they had a winning record against the Dodgers. Two seasons ago, any of the top three teams in the NL Central would have won the East or West (and by 5+ games), but the 98 win Pirates were out after one game (while the East champ/90 win Mets made it to the WS LMAO ). The Pirates would have won the West a couple years prior. Both AL WCs would have won the Central the year prior.
Yeah, sports aren't fair, but it seems kind of dumb to reward a weak division winner over a WC team that not only had a better season, but a better season with a better team in their division.
It's at least better than it used to be... hell, 100 win teams used to miss the playoffs (granted, not that often).
