Ken Rosenthal muses that Major League Baseball might not need much pushing to alter course from a one-game Wild Card playoff.

An additional Wild Card berth was introduced this season and the two Wild Card entrants will play one game to determine who makes it to a division series.

Rosenthal writes that if the Yankees fail to win the American League East and are then eliminated as a Wild Card, Bud Selig could be forced to change the rules.

"The Yankees would scream," Rosenthal writes. "The networks would seethe. And Commissioner Bud Selig might think, 'Uh, why did I just allow the sport's No. 1 attraction to go down in the blink of an eye?'"
