Sounds like that could put the Reds at a bit of a disadvantage. Let's say the Braves and the Cardinals (in order of finish) win the wild cards. They have a one-game playoff at Atlanta and the Braves win. The Braves would then host the Reds in Games 1 and 2 before they shift to Cincinnati for game 3. How is that fair to the team with the best record? How is it fair to their fans, who could possibly only see one game?
I agree that it's complete horse shit. You win your division and you're punished by playing the first two games on the road? Luckily it is only this season but they could have added one extra day to the playoffs and fixed it. Bud is a dumbass, though.
