The main negative impact of a one game playoff - besides being patently senseless - is that it severely handcuffs the winner as they now have to go on the road AND lose they their Ace for the first 3 games.
In my opinion I would do away with the game all together and utilize a series of criteria to determine who the two wild card teams are with descending tie-breaking marks - for instance:
Overall Record
Head to Head record
Total Road Wins
Total Road Runs Scored
Something like that. Seems the most logical approach

Or use the same system and have 1 wild card team. Teams basically will compete for that as if it is a division. If that ends in a tie then a one game playoff.
