In an unprecedented move, Major League Baseball informed American League general managers near the beginning of September that the team with the best record would choose between playing in the Division Series that lasts up to eight days featuring three off days or the one that lasts up to seven days and has two off days. ?It is a nice little perk,? said MLB spokesperson Patrick Courtney last night. ?It?s nice for that team. People are always looking for more incentives in the regular season, so now, if it?s the last day of the season and the Red Sox and Angels have already clinched but have the same record, it could really mean something.? Next year, the National League Division Series will have the schedule, and the NL team with the best record will get the choice.
