Beginning tis season, the Eastern League will have the winner of the first half play the winner of the second half of a division play-off to see who plays for the championship, based on won-lost records, not winning percentage. If one team wins both halves, then the other play-off spot will be awarded to that team in the division that had the best full-season won-lost record (this doesn't quite make sense to me as the team that wins both halves would have the best won-lost record, no?).
Anyway, couldn't one or more teams actually have better full-season won-lost records than teams that won the first or second half? Say a team went 60-10 in the first half and 10-60 in the second half while another team went 10-60 and 60-10. A third team could go 100-40 for the season and not make the play-offs as I read things.
