....is actually a disadvantage to the best teams.
They spend all season being ready game to game, then they sit for a week.
The stats show that, now, 9 or the last 11 teams to win 100 or more games did not get to the LCS. Did not get to the LCS! Not the World Series, but the league championship.
There's something there, even with a small sample of 11.
