		<description>A great record might be good for intimidation purposes 
going into postseason play!
If you can get into your opponent&#039;s head, 
you can affect their playing, 
furthering their feelings of inadequacy, 
accelerating your chances of advancement!

		<description>The advantage is having more home games than your opponent, but as you stated that doesn&#039;t always work out.  It depends a lot on the Team, stadium, and fans.

		<description>Yes, I&#039;ve been saying this for years now.  Getting 1 extra home game for being the better team over a 162 game season is a joke.  And the 5 game set in the first round has got to stop.
I realize the extra playoff games would mean more cold weather games, which is why I propose we go back to the 154 game season.  This would allow for an even sooner finish to the World Series.  Baseball was not meant to be played in freezing weather, but the 5 game series needs to be extended to 7.

		<description>i dont think there is anything wrong with having the best record entering the playoffs, although i dont think a team should risk overplaying players down the stretch in order to win games that are essentially meaningless.

going back even further in baseball and in many other sports, the team with the best record in regular season probably wins the championship less than half the time.

so the important thing is to win enough to get to the post season and be able to posture your you pitching rotation and keep players as healthy as possible.

		<description>Once the playoffs begin, you can throw out whatever happened in the regular season.

That&#039;s the point of playing.
Anything can happen.
