You can’t control the distribution of wins. All you can control is the quality of teams that make the playoffs. MLB has lowered that quality since 1969, and rapidly so since 1995. Some years that pays off in dramatic scrambles among 85-win teams, and in others, you get an 84% chance the playoff field is set before the end of August.
