It would be highlight of the season for so many teams.plus there would be major difference for being 3rd or 4th... Plus maybe it would be even fair, after 160 games in regular season, it might be one point that makes the difference of who gets promoted. Thoughts ?

If your club is only good enough to finish 15 games back in a lower league, what happens against an entire league of first-place caliber clubs?

After 162 regular season games they still play playoffs, not only AL champion against NL champion. it happens in many other sports also. 2nd question, the rules would be the same regardless of the division level
