My hope is that Cleveland will win the wild card so one of those "beloved" Eastern teams will NOT be in the playoffs.

When it comes to Baseball, ESPN is EAST COAST BIASED. Period.

Don't believe me? If an east coast team doesn't make the World Series, they probably won't even cover it. At the very least only basic minimal coverage.

California has FIVE major league baseball teams. Granted, some are bad teams but FIVE nonetheless. So how does majority justify bias? This year there are THREE California teams in contention. Last year all FIVE California teams were in contention! Minimal coverage.
