In cases of a tie, how is the Wild Card entry determined? Just finished a league where teams (one being mine) finished second in each division with identical records (83-79).

I lost the head-to-head against each of the other two. I have worst home record of the three. I scored the least runs of the three. However, of the three, I have the best record against my division. And, I made the playoffs as the Wild Card entry.

In a case like this is the Wild Card determined solely by record versus division? I could not find any info on this in FAQ or elsewhere.

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


For more info, go to: Help, Rules/FAQ, click playoffs.

Thank you!
