[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1484314, member: 4159"] I was kind of curious to see how team payroll looked for the playoff teams. The Yankees of course have one of the highest and Tampa has the lowest. I used both [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/sports/mlb/salaries/2019/team/all/']USA Today[/URL] and [URL='https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/']Spotrac[/URL]. The two are slightly different. For comparison's sake I listed all top 10 teams. 5 of the teams with the largest payrolls are in the playoffs and 5 teams outside the top ten made it as well. On a 25 man roster there probably isn't much difference between a payroll of $125 and $150 million. Injuries probably play a larger part in determining playoff teams.
