When it comes to the playoffs, anyone of the teams that are in it can win. Before they changed the wild card format, look at how many teams that one who went in as wild cards. It depends on who's playing very well going into the season. Timely/clutch hitting, a strong bullpen, good pitching and good game management all go into a championship team. The Tigers were a Closer away last year and to honest, I think the Cards missed a clutch hitter in the championship series. Their pitching was outstanding.
Oh, and a little luck doesn't hurt either....
