If the Rays, Rangers, and Indians all tie the Rays and Indians match-up first and the loser plays the Rangers for the final WC spot. So essentially the Rays and Indians get two chances to make a play-off berth while the Rangers only get one?
Doesn't make any sense to me.
Am I missing something or is this totally bogus? Honestly if all teams have the same regular season record no team should have an advantage other than home-field advantage (which could be determined a couple ways).
