Unrealistic playoff results...

Feature Request

Something needs to change in the playoff engine as the results are not realistic. For example - this Season (72) in BIG LEAGUE.

For context - in the history of MLB only ONCE has a team with 22 more wins lost to another team. No team has ever lost in the playoffs to another team when they have 24 more wins than them.

AND YET this season in BIG LEAGUE in the ALDS BOTH teams lost and one had 22 more wins than its opponent and mine had 25 more wins than its opponent. So the thing that has never happened and the thing that only happened once in all of MLB history - HAPPENS twice in the SAME league in the SAME ROUND of the playoffs. The odds of this happening are basically ZERO percent

So you might say wow what a crazy coincidence…yet it has happened MANY times and that just to me personally. See below…
Season 72 in BIG LEAGUE - I lose to a team with 25 less wins than me
Season 52 in BIG LEAGUE - I lose to a team with 27 less wins than me.
Season 42 in GWYNN - I lose to a team with 28 less wins than me.
Season 39 in Gwynn - I lose to a team with 24 less wins than me

And the thing that has happened only ONCE in MLB history has happened TWICE to me.
Season 57 in YOUNT - Swept by a team that had 22 less wins than me.
Season 72 in MAJOR LEAGUE - swept by a team that had 22 less wins than me

There needs to be a check in the engine that stops this from happening as often. LIKE WAY LESS OFTEN.

    I think that there should be some standard deviation metric applied, like 25 wins is 4+ standard deviations better. A team that has 25 more wins in the playoffs is like 4 standard deviations better than its opponent and the results should reflect that
