IS the 1st tiebreaker head to head record????

whats the 2nd ??

Tiebreakers for a 2-way tie are, in order:
- Head-to-head record
- Run differential
- Coin flip
Tiebreakers for a 3-way tie are, in order:
- Best record vs. teams within division
- Run differential
- Coin flip

im clinched the div last nite...have a 3game lead and won the season series.................

but what if i get swept, the 2nd place team sweeps...
and then a team in another div ties us for the wildcard??????????


i would win the div based on head to head???
and the wild card would be betwen the other 2 teams???

im wondering because i want to rest as many regulars as i can to avoid injury...

You are right goredsox. The tiebreaker would be run first to see who won your division. After a winner is determined the "loser" of that tie-breaker would then use the tie breaker vs the team from another division to see who would be the wild card team.

So if you won the season series vs that team you have already clinched your division.
