What is the MLB tie-breaking procedure when two divisional winners finish the regular season with the same win-loss record and winning percentage?
Answer The first tie breaker is head to head play. That is pretty easy to determine, but with the new wild card things can get pretty messy. Consider a massive tie up of say five teams. All of the teams have identical records (improbable but possible). That would take some sorting out! It used to be a one game playoff - aka October 2nd, 1978's Yankees/Red Sox playoff when Bucky Dent hit the home run.
Answer
head to head games
Answer
Head to head would only determine the winner if both teams are guaranteed to make the playoffs anyway. If the loser would be eliminated, there would be a one-game playoff after all.
