I don't agree with much of this at all, especially the assumptions. And there are one or two glaring errors. But it's worth adding into the mix.

 
Should the 1968 NY Mets (18th out of 20 in a combined table) have been relegated?
Well if Relegation is a thing in baseball in the 1960s then it is possible that it could have been a bounce back year of them being promoted. Just the way my mind wanders in Alternative Fiction.
