There's a nontrivial difference between having an $80M financial advantage over a self-professed small market team like the Rockies, and having that same $80M advantage over the second largest payroll in the league.

if you can't figure that out yourself, I pity you.

Every team you played in the playoffs this year had 60% of your payroll or smaller. Indeed seeing as you have more than $70M over any other team this year that was almost the guaranteed outcome. And it certainly was not true of the Red Sox in 2007.
