Put all teams in the MLB playoffs.

Instead of whining about the MLB regular season becoming more meaningless, why not make it completely meaningless? Put all the teams into a new playoff system. 1. Reduce the regular season to 140 games: 20 games against seven opponents. 2. Seed the teams according to regular season record. Based on 32, not the actual 30 teams currently in MLB, this could be done with eight team east/west divisions in each of the current two leagues. Teams should play only in their divisions. 3. Give a big advantage to the highest seed(1 v. 8), especially in round one, maybe all home games, maybe give number one a win to start the five game series. 4. There would be three series of five games. That would decide the four division winners. Max 155 games, min 149 games to that point. 5. Division winners would then play a seven game LCS. 6. World Series. Cool.
