: 大联盟官方正在研议新的季后赛规则，其中包括：
: 1.每联盟各取七队打季后赛
: 2.第一轮取三战两胜制
: 3.每个联盟的第一种子免打第一轮
: 4.成绩较佳的队伍可以挑对手打，例如以下这段：
美国的球迷似乎不怎么喜欢新的制度
"知名美职新闻网站MLB Trade Rumors做的社群民意调查（截至11日中午），
也发现不喜欢此提案的球迷（57％）多于喜欢此提案的球迷（43％）。
另外球员工会会不会反对多打几场比赛呢?或许此案还不见得会顺利过关
不过或许也可以考虑折衷方案 例如可以保留个人最爱的"外卡骤死赛"
再加上联盟战绩最佳者 可以在分区冠军赛挑对手
这样就可以在不增加名额的状况下 做一些赛制的改革
如果大联盟官方真的想要四支外卡 也可以考虑让这四支外卡
进行两轮的"外卡骤死赛"这样也很刺激XD
而四支外卡的选择方式 不见得是单纯看整季的战绩
也可以把球季分割成上下半 让上半季打得不好
但下半季表现特别好的球队 有机会拿到一张外卡
我想 这些都是可以考虑的作法
: In this concept, the team with the best record in each league would receive a
: bye to avoid the wild-card round and go directly to the Division Series. The
: two other division winners and the wild card with the next best record would
: each host all three games in a best-of-three wild-card round. So the bottom
: three wild cards would have no first-round home games.
: The division winner with the second-best record in a league would then get
: the first pick of its opponent from those lower three wild cards, then the
: other division winner would pick, leaving the last two wild cards to play
: each other.
: To use the AL last season as an example, the Astros with the best record
: would have received the bye. The Yankees, with the second-best record, would
: have had the choice to pick from among the Rays, Indians and Red Sox. Boston
: had the worst record of that group. Would the Yanks pick them or avoid the
: baggage of a series with their rival? It would create a ton of strategy and
: interest, and this is what MLB wants to sell. The Twins would then pick next
: as the other division winner, and then the A’s with the best wild-card
: record would play the team not chosen by the Yankees or Twins.
: “以去年为例，假设美联七支队伍打季后赛，太空人战绩最佳故免打首轮；战绩第二佳
: 的洋基可于光芒、印地安人以及红袜间挑一队作为第一轮的对手；接着轮到战绩第三佳
: 的分区冠军双城挑对手。至于没被洋基双城挑到的队伍就和战绩最佳的外卡队伍运动家
: 对阵。”
: 这样其实也或多或少解决一战定生死的风险。而且因为首轮三战两胜制，分区冠军享有
: 此轮所有主场优势，还可挑对手，对球队来说还是有拼分区冠军的诱因。这理论上也不
: 太会有G163了。
