if it's gonna be a 1 game playoff, then some sort of nullification rule should exist, cause ATL's record is the same as another Division winner, while STL's was 6 games back.
If the 2 wildcard spots are within 2-3 games of each other, play the 1 game. 6 games back, they should skip the 1 game, and drop the 2nd wildcard team. As it stands, there was no reason for Atlanta to keep fighting to win games late in the season. Just stay above the 3rd place WC team.
