If the best team cannnot beat an inferior team in a best of five, they don't deserve to move on. The Cubs were considered favorites to win the World Series by many, and the Dodgers apparently played in and won the worst division in the National League. This only emboldens the Cubs failure as a team, not the system only being a best of 5. If anything, the best of 5 should favor the favorite (sorry poor choice of words) because they should in theory have to play fewer games to advance. Sorry, I just don't see the connection.
