Expanding the Playoffs
Vegas Watch notes that the change in the playoff schedule provides room for the first round to move from five to seven games. He does the math and finds that the odds of the best teams winning in seven instead of five don't change that much, so it would be a way of raising revenue. I'll have more on this later.
Odds, Schmodds. I'm still bummed about the Jays losing the first 7 game ALCS after being up 3-1.
