Wild Card Play-In Game

I am surprisingly not a huge fan of the Wild Card play-in game for baseball. As I watch a great game between Oakland & Kansas City, though it's been an awesome game, all I can think about is how both teams #1 starters and bullpens are being exhausted for the series ahead of them. I really like both of these teams/franchises, but I can't figure out playing 162 games to find out who deserves to be in the playoffs and then having one game decide the merits of the other 162. PLUS you start your ACTUAL playoff series with your best pitcher sitting on the bench for the first two games. This game is in the 11th currently, meaning both teams have also utilized a decent portion of their bullpens too. How can an odd number of teams be allowed in the playoffs? Wasn't it revolutionary enough to have the wild card added in the first place so at least 4 teams had the opportunity for postseason play, eleviating the soul-crushing the Boston Red Sox felt for many years at the hands of New York. The almighty dollar is certainly at work to keep the 162 games more interesting and allow the playoff race to continue deeper into the season, allowing the Brewers to wait 158 games before being mathematically eliminated. I just don't like the one-game playoff. I realize that the wild card could have a one-game playoff, as did former divisional teams that were tied, but it's clearly not the same. I point out to when the Braves had a 13 game lead in the Wild Card, or something similar, only to lose in the one game playoff to the St. Louis Cardinals, BAIN of the N.L. Central. Of course they went on to win the World Series, but my contention is they never should have been able to play for it. I'm generally all about change and progressing the game, but this idea I can't get behind. It's one step away from being like basketball where over 50% of the league is in the playoffs, allowing a sub-.500 Bucks team to limp in some years, costing us a lottery opportunity, the true goal for any bad basketball team. I don't like the baseball playoffs getting watered down and the one deserving wild card team either eliminated, or, best case scenario, weakened, heading into the Divisional series. BUUDDDDD SEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG (kidding), but give Pete Rose a Presidential pardon of sorts on your way out.
