In response to "Dodgers: 92 wins. Mets: 90 wins. Pirates: 98 wins. The Mets and Dodgers get to lose three (or four) times as much before being eliminated." by David

You can't have team playing in a tough division getting penalized because they had a tougher schedule. Everything needs to be equal if you're going to get rid of the divisions.

- Yeah, I would expect the Mets or Dodgers to run up a huge total given how awful the bottom of their divisions were. - Will Hunting Oct 8, 07:41
