Many sports suffer from garbage time at the end of the game in which the outcome is already clear. Relatedly, in soccer, a team in the lead goes purely on the defensive resulting in a boring game.
To preserve a high quality of play through the whole game for the spectators, let teams be ranked not by win-loss, but by season total (or average) point differential.
Baseball might be problematic because it is not played on a clock, so a team needs to decide whether it's worth the wear and tear on players to extend the game and keep scoring more runs.
