No, the divisions are still meaningful because the division
winners still get in...they just aren't necessarily guaranteed
an LDS spot like they are now.
To me, it's better for baseball to have the best teams with the
advantage in the playoffs. Just using the current standings as
an example, the top three teams get screwed--the second and
third best teams have to face each other in a one game playoff.
Then the team with the best record has to go into a five game
series where they may face Arrieta, Lester, or Cole twice.
Meanwhile, the 4th and 5th best teams in the league each get to
skip the crapshoot game AND each get to face a more flawed team
in the Division Series.

Lance Lynn gives up 6 runs in the first inning and is pulled
after 2/3 an inning.

By that metric, the Cub infield is good. The outfield is bad.
Very bad.

Cards have cut it to 7-4, bases loaded, one out in the 7th. I
know it's fairly unrealistic to think that we might catch them,
but I just can't root for them over (anyone including) the
Pirates. Hang on, Buccos.
