Real Baseball Question

#1 Post by viper »

My minimal research could not find the answer so I figured I would just ask in here.

What happens if there is a tie for the Division title?

Assuming it is broken with some tiebreaker system, could that possibly mean the team that tied for a division totally misses that playoff if there are two non-division winners with better records?

Finally, what happens if there is a tie for the second wild card spot?

I will check on the others but clearly there is a playoff game for Division Winner ......that should not affect the record of the team tied but if that record is lower than other Wild Card teams, yes they are watching (but really had the same one game playoff opportunity)
