Move playoffs to cable

Baseball's Monday playoff TV ratings weren't too spectacular.
Over on Fox the NLCS game scored a 5.1/8 between 8pm-10pm. Kinda eh for the playoffs and though MLB is touting that the combined playoff ratings for this round are up, but that’s not doing Fox any good since the growth is all being driven by huge growth over last year on TBS (last year it had the Diamonbacks/Rockies NLCS, this year TBS has the Red Sox).
I'm thinking that all playoff games will move to cable outlets in the coming years, kind of like the NBA format with the finals on network TV.
