To have a playoff offers more chances to sell tickets, beer, and air time. C'mon ... that's an easy one. -- In cases where one team makes the postseason and the other doesn't, baseball does not settle ties using best head-to-head record but rather through a one game tiebreaker. If however the only question is which team wins the division and which wins the Wild Card, best head to head record is used to determine the division winner. In 2008 the Mets have the better head to head record than the Phillies and they both finish with better records than the Brewers, the Mets would win the division based on better head to head record and the Phillies would take the Wild Card. If the Mets, Phillies, and Brewers all finish with the same record, the Mets and Phillies would play a one game tiebreaker for the division title, and then the loser would play the Brewers for the Wild Card.
