How A's could benefit from possible future changes to MLB postseason

Whoo boy ... OK, here we go.

In what would be adding to an already interesting and headline-filled offseason for Major League Baseball, the league might be looking to make more changes in the near future. This time, to the postseason.

The New York Post's Joel Sherman reported an expansion could see an increase from five to seven playoff teams per league beginning in 2022.

If this were to come to fruition, the team with the best record in each league would then get a bye to avoid the wild-card round and go straight to the division series.
