FMLB ideas for the next baseball season

Here are some ideas I have for my Fantasy Major League Baseball leagues:

  • Thirty Two Teams.  Two leagues of sixteen teams.  Each league divided into two divisions of eight teams.  If the the two division winners have the best two records in their league, they will meet in a best-of-seven championship series.  If a second place team has a better record than one of the division winners, then that second place team and the division winner, with the poorer record, will play a best-of-three play-in series.
  • Thirty Two Teams. Two leagues of sixteen teams.  Each league divided into four divisions of four teams.  If the four division winners in each league have the four best records, then the four teams will advance to best-of-seven division series to determine the participants in the league championship series.  If one second place has a better record than a division winner, than the second place team and the division will play a best-of-three play-in series to for a place in the division series round.  If two second place teams have a better record than two first place teams, then these four teams will play two best-of-three play-in series for places in the the division series round.  The four teams would be seeded as follows: 1: Division winner with best record, 2: The other division winner, 3: the second place team with the best record, 4: the other second place team.  The first seed will play the fourth; and the second seed will play the third seed.  A regular season tie between a second place team and a division winner of different divisions would go to the division winner - no tie-breaker to be played in that circumstance.
  • Thirty Two Teams.  Two leagues of sixteen.  No divisions.
