How the second wild card affects playoff probability

Written by Pat Lackey on .

Fangraphs had an interesting piece yesterday about how the new wild card affects playoff probabilities. In simpler terms; how many wins does a team need to make the playoffs? The conclusion is pretty interesting (if predictable); it's now easier to make the playoffs with fewer wins, but tougher to reach the division series. 

My favorite part about this is how extremely relevant it is to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

If all of this goes to accordingly, there will be a parade down East Washington Street in Orlando!!!
