This has absolutely no parallel to tournament play. Maybe your #4 goes to the bullpen as a long reliever.
If you feel the season is too long a satellite to the big tournament hardly anyone will argue.
Raw wins are a poor way to compare teams from division to division and league to league. Dodgers still have a cupcake division
RPI and strength of schedule measurements have disappointed me personally
The Royals reference is intriguing. That team did nothing short of rewrite the way teams approach pitching. Genius rewarded.
