They're doing a bubble system for the playoffs. Higher seed gets home field throughout round one. Division and later rounds are in 'neutral parks.

I guess they figure it's more neutral. No division advantages

That was the only reason I could think of too.

should make it harder for lower seeded teams to advance.

Similar to how the NBA handled a potential 8/9 seed play-in game, if MLB goes to 16 teams moving forward, then the lower seeded teams should have to win more games until it gets to the LCS (or at least the Division Series)

In other words,
"best of 3" series should actually be that lower seeded team has to win 2 games before the higher seed wins 1 game.

Best of 5- lwer seeded team has to win 3 games, higher seed only has to win 2 games

Why would a Yankees fan want a playoff series in Petco?

Our offense is built on power. Going to an extreme pitcher's park is not ideal.
I’m good with it
