In 2012, Major League Baseball added a second wildcard spot to postseason play. This makes playoff baseball more interesting. The one game playoff between the first wildcard team and second makes all baseball game excited. Before this there was only four teams per league now there’s five per league. Who ever wins the one game playoff has to play the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. This insures the first seed that they don’t have to face the No. 1 starter in game one. In the past teams that have gone to win the one game playoff go far in the postseason. Having one game decide if you’re in the postseason or not is good for the game and makes everything more intense. The first year they did this was a success as TV ratings went up and fans enjoyed it. The Postseason is an emotional time for many players but knowing your one win away from going home or moving on makes them motivated. This year the wildcard race is better then ever and people pay attention too it. Being at home in the playoffs helps but in the past couple of year it hasn’t mattered. This will be the 5th year doing this and all of baseball loves what it does for the game. Major League baseball has made the steps to make sure baseball is one of the greatest games.
