In Major League Baseball how does a team get a wild card?
Not sure where this is going. I'm going to answer this assuming you're asking about how the wild card works. There are three divisions in each league. East, West, and Central. Because there are only three divisions, that means that two of the divisions will play against each other in the post season, but the other division will be left with nobody to play. The wild card spot goes to the team who has the next best record. The wild card evens out the playoff bracket.

AnswerThe NFL divides its teams into two conferences, which are then split into four divisions. The way its currently structured, there are six teams in each conference that qualify for the playoffs. The teams with the best record in each division, the division winners, qualify for the playoffs. The remaining two playoff spots go to the "Wild Card" teams. These are the next two best teams. These teams are then seeded 1 to 6 based on record, with the wild card team automatically being the 5th and 6th seeds.The first and second seeded team get a first round bye, meaning they do not play a game in the first week of the post season. The third seed plays the sxth seed and the 4th seed plays the fifth seed in the first week, which s known as the Wild Card Round.

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.
