MLB playoff structure will always lead to more parity.
Sure - but things are getting worse.

When the Yankees were "The Evil Empire" they won 4 WS in 5 years and played in 6 WS over 8 years. That wasn't parity. And that was the same thing we're seeing now -- one team just using financial might to blow everyone else away.

The luxury tax was stiffened in 2002 and since 2004 the Yankees have been to 2 WS in 20 seasons.

Now teams like the Dodgers are finding ways around the Tax, the Mets simply don't give a shit about it and things are trending back towards the nastiness of that Yankees era. It's not a great thing for the game.
