The wild card races, with more teams in direct competition, always prove to be exciting. Pull me some stats on division vs. wild card teams making/winning the WS. I suspect the latter isn't all that high, but the former is probably a decent #. You also point out another incredibly important corollary - pitching wins in the playoffs. A great 3 man rotation is devastating in a 5-game series. Hint: why Cliff Lee signing, and the like, are so important. Good article.
