making the playoffs when you have no chance of actually winning the world series/championship is a terrible place to be, at least in the NBA and NFL, I guess the MLB might be different. It makes it so you get crappy draft picks every year and you have no way to actually advance your franchise. Look at the Milwaukee Bucks. They make the playoffs every single year as an 8 seed and they lose in the first round every single year. They will never be better than that, but they will never be worse than that, because they're trapped in this limbo that no team wants to actually be in. (never is of course relative, the Bucks could certainly find some luck and become excellent in 10 years or something)
