In 6.5 (and 2007 seems to be holding form), my 100-110 win teams tended to lose a LOT in the playoffs. It seemed like, though, if I could crank the team up to a 130-win juggernauts, they'd have no trouble in the playoffs. I think I read in BaseballProspectus that teams tend to shoot for 90 wins because that gets them into the playoffs, where it's a crapshoot. But a 130-win team is so much better than the rest of the league, well, it tends to take care of itself. Now if I could just build a 130-win team in 2007.
