Yes, when you put it that way, sure. Baseball odds are much better because of the variance. Long season + short series, are on baseball's side. BB is stronger expectancy than even, hockey, the so called hardest Trophy to win. Yes it's frustrating, but the Birds might not have this chance for awhile. Raptors will make the PS, plus win a series or 2. The Jays haven't this luxury... what they have done is pretty f***ing epic.
16 teams don't make the playoffs, in ball. The grind is nowhere near the NHL, and the NBA has elite teams... the NFL is about as close as you can compare to the MLB. Even then injuries in the NFL and NHL can make or break a contender.
