The rules used to be different but from what I understand, two wild card teams will play a one game play-off to determine who goes on to the post season. From what I understand it is technically a play-off game.

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.
