What if there's a tie with mlb wild card teams?
At the end of the season, there may be a tie with the wildcard teams or even in a division itself. In the case of a tie, those teams must play one game to determine who will finish the regular season with the best record.
What happens in Major League Baseball when 2 teams are tied for the division championship and also tied with another team for the wild card?
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.

What is strength of victory in the NFL?
That is the 5th tie breaker used by the NFL in breaking ties to determine a division winner and the 4th or 5th tie breaker used in breaking ties to determine a wild card winner (4th if 2 teams are tied and 5th if 3 or more teams are tied). The total wins and losses of the teams the tied teams defeated are added up and whichever tied team defeated teams with the higher combined winning percentage wins the tie breaker.
What is the MLB tie-breaking procedure when two teams from the same division finish the regular season with the same win-loss record and winning percentage?
If teams from the same division finish the regular season in a tie, they play a one game playoff to determine the division championship. The exception is if the other team would make the postseason as a wild card. In that case the team with the better head to head record wins the division and the other team takes the wild card.
How are the MLB playoffs pairings decided?
In each League, the division winner with the highest win percentage will play the wild card team, and the two remaining teams will play each other. The exception is when the division winner with the highest win percentage is in the same division as the wild card team, in which case the division winner with the second highest win percentage will play the wild card team, and the two remaining teams will play each other. If more that one team has the highest win percentage, a tie-breaker system will be used to determine which team shall play the wild card team.
Why do the New York Mets schedule up to three days to play one team?
Major League Baseball schedules are designed to minimize travel as much as possible. Teams will usually host other teams for three (sometimes four) games. A single-game series between two teams is usually quite rare, and only done in the cases of two teams needing to play a one-game playoff (in the case of a divisional or wild-card tie), or make up a game that was suspended/canceled due to weather or other cause.
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.

What are common games in the NFL?
'Common Games' is a term used for games that two or more teams play against another team. In other words, if the Vikings and Eagles both played the 49ers in the regular season, that would be considered a 'common game'. When two or more teams tie for a playoff spot their records in common games are used as the third tie breaker after head-to-head competition and winning percentage within the conference (to break a tie for a wild card spot) or within the division (to break a tie to determine the division winner).
