Two wildcards play 3-game series, not 1-game.
Team with best record in league plays the team with the worst record in ALDS/NLDS.
Team with best record always has home field advantage.
There's no point to reward the division winner with the additional home game anymore, because the lack of having to play the wildcard "series" is already a huge reward.
