What if SF AND STL
Tie? For the second wildcard spot?

Will there be a one game playoff to play in the one game playoff?

Wrong, play in game would occur and STL would host do to their winning season series.

This isn't even a crazy situation. The AL is way crazier right now.

If Toronto goes 1-1, Seattle 2-0, Tigers 2-1 and Baltimore 0-2 then they will all be tied at 88-74 for the two Wild Card spots.

If Baltimore goes 1-1 and the records above happen for the other three teams then there will be a three-way tied for one Wild Card spot.

quote:

In the event of a three-team tie for the second Wild Card spot, the three teams choose from A, B, and C designations. Team A hosts Team B, then the winner of that game hosts Team C to determine which club moves into the proper Wild Card game. Based on the clubs’ head-to-head records, the Tigers have the last choice of designations, so there’s no doubt they’d end up as Team B — the one that needs to win a road game then a home game, a far more difficult haul than Team A (two straight home games) or Team C (one road game).

Yeah, my bad, the tie breaking scenario that I read was for home field advantage
