Flexible Series

Here’s an idea whose time has come:

The World Series is slated to run from Oct. 25 to a potential Game 7 on Nov. 2, according to the schedule released by MLB on Thursday.

But if both championship series are decided within five games, the World Series would instead run from Oct. 22 to Oct. 30, allowing the postseason to conclude before the start of November for the first time since 2020.

I would still like to see the second travel day eliminated in playoff series. Teams travel overnight all season. It would also make it tougher to hide a fifth starter in a seven-game series.
