2018 - 2022 Original MLB Format

As a huge fan of the original format of MLB (Pre 1969), I decided to simulate 5 seasons from 2018 to 2022 with the following rules

1) Full Minor League System.
2) No Designated Hitter
3) No Interleague Play (ASG & World Series only)
4) Season shortened to 154 games (Not necessary but why not?)
5) No Divisions, no rounds of the postseason except WS.

Here are the results:
2018 - LAD def. HOU
2019 - NYY def. LAD
2020 - LAD def. HOU
2021 - NYY def. NYM
2022 - TOR def. LAD

Dodgers were clearly stacked and outlasted all 14 teams in the NL in 4/5 years.

Interesting. How did you do no interleague play? Did you move Houston back to the NL?
