The NFL takes 12 out of 32 teams (0.375) to the playoffs, versus the 8 out of 30 (0.267) the MLB carries. That's already four more potential slots for a playoff team, including one more wildcard per league. Yes, the Yankees have gone to far and away more World Series competitions and acquired more titles than any other team. They're also, historically (and I'm talking a history that spans a time greater than the entire NFL), the most competitive and storied team in baseball. That means talent and money naturally flow to it. I would also point out that, since 2000, the Giants, Diamondbacks, Red Sox, White Sox, Rockies, Cardinals, Rays, Tigers, Angels, Mets, and Phillies have all gone to the World Series in addition to the Yanks. This year, the Twins, Giants, Reds, and Rangers(!!) are all expected to make the postseason with minimal difficulty. There is competitive balance, and introducing the shenanigans of a salary cap isn't the way to go in my opinion.
