16 teams in the playoffs, the Pads might actually have a shot.
I’m sure they did the numbers and came to the conclusion that the extra teams will help mitigate the financial shortfall of no fans.

6 with top 2 teams getting a bye ( top 2 in each division)
7 with the top team getting a bye (top 2 and best #3)
8 with no byes (top 2 and 2 best #3s)
Instead of best records due to totally unbalanced schedule)

Ryan,
Is the expanded playoffs for this season only? I recall the MLB and MLBPA were discussing adding more playoff teams even before COVID hit.
Expanded in the future, but just not to the same degree?

"Now that baseball has expanded its postseason to 16 teams this year — an NBA-style format that includes more than half the league — is just reaching the postseason enough? The Indians don’t have to beat out the Twins to guarantee a playoff berth this year; they just need to be better than the White Sox. Every first- and second-place team is guaranteed to get in." - The Athletic
