This is a fairly simple suggestion, I am suggesting we make the ALDS and NLDS 7 game series. I feel like this could be a change that MLB is bound to make eventually as it will increase revenue for playoff teams and also make a 5 game series a bit less of a toss up. IRL they may worry about the WS leaking into November too much but in this world, the weather probably doesnt matter that much. Anyways you can post what you think and there is a poll above.

I voted to keep it at 5 games. The whole point of this new playoff setup and a huge reasons why people were wanting to switch to the new game was to give the divsion winner a biger reason to actually try and win the division. No point in lessening that advantage by giving the non division winner a chance to play their better pitchers.

I have heard the words "Can we go one off-season without making some type of rule change that really isn't a problem in the first place" a lot in the past 4 months I've been back. This just looks like another step backwards to me, don't see the point of fixing something that isn't broken.

We really don't need any more revenue than we already have. The playoffs are also drawn out more than they need to be. If I had it my way I'd go 1-3-5-7 for the series lengths.
