I would advocate the 1-game playoff to determine 1st place of a division at the conclusion of the regular season. It is fun. It is exciting. Nobody loses as both teams make the playoffs. When you look at the history of MLB one of the most storied games is the Bucky Dent home run. It's one game do or die (for one day). Having played in the 1-gamer it was great.

I would also ask to not use the coin flip. There isn't anything that defines competition by tossing a coin. There are so many statistical option why decide something that has nothing to do with performance. Similarly this is all about the season and nothing from the past should be a factor. Team batting, home runs, team era, whatever. I dare say some of the suggestions are goofy. No insult intended.

That's all and thank you for your indulgence.
