They should implement the Swing Off in regular season games too. 

Plot twist. Each team chooses one fan to pitch to the opposing team’s hitters during the swing off.

If avoiding it ruins the integrity of the game, is it worth it? That's an individual opinion. Mine is it is not worth in a game where a 6-4 record across 162 games gets you to the playoffs. 

What point are we ruling a game a tie? The Cubs played 12 extra inning games last year. That’s a lot of ties even over 162 games.

12 innings is plenty. Most of the fans will have left by then anyway.

How much would a good BP pitcher command in salary, since he'd decide several games a year?  What would be a good WAR for the Swing Off hurler??

Barrios vs. Pacquiao ends in a majority draw and the fans hate it. lol Nobody likes a tie.
