How are baseball playoff set up?
In the Major Leagues, the three teams that lead the Division in both leagues will make the Playoffs and the two teams from both leagues with the best record that don't lead the division will also make the Playoffs. Additionallly the two Wild Card teams in the American League will play each other in a one-game playoff and the two Wild Card teams in the National League will also play each other in a one-game playoff. The winner of the American League Wild Card game will continue on to the Division Series in order to play the Divisional Winner with the best record and the winner of the N.L. Wild Card game will also have to face the Divisional record with the best record but in the National League. The Divisional Series is a best of 5 series, the two winners in the A.L. will go on to face each other in the Championship Series and the 2 winners in the N.L. will also go on to face each other in the Championship Series which is a best of 7 series. The winners of the Championship Series will face each other in the World Series which is also a best of 7 series.
For MLB what are the rules for breaking ties in standings?
It depends. If the tie is between two teams fighting for one playoff spot, then they play a one-game playoff (in the AL). In the NL, they used to do three-game playoff, but I think that has changed since the advent of the wild card - I believe it is now just one game but I'm not 100% on that. The playoff game counts as a regular-season game. However, if they're tied but both teams would advance to the postseason - say, they were tied for the lead in the NL west, but their record would also earn them the wild card slot - then head-to-head record is used as the tiebreaker to determine who is seeded as a division champ and who is seeded as a wild card.

When, after 162 games, two teams are tied for the division lead, or for the wildcard spot, those two teams, and only those two teams, play a one-game "playoff" to determine which team wins the division or the wildcard spot. It happens less often than you might think.

What if there's a tie with mlb wild card teams?
MLB conducts a coin toss prior to the conclusion of the season. All teams who have the possibility of being the wild card (or the possibility of a tie for division winner) are included and all possible scenarios are covered. The team winning the coin toss hosts a one-game playoff to see which team advances as the wild card, or which team wins the division, if that is the case. If two teams are tied for thhe division lead, and also tied with a team from another division for the wild card, the two teams tied for the division lead will have their tie-breaker game played first. The winner of that game is the division champ, and the loser of that game plays a one game tie-breaker against the team from the other division to determine the wild card.
