About 15-20 people in my office have been watching how the Playoff will end up. It has become a matter of honor among us. Anyway, we have been trying to figure out who will be playing whom in the first round of playoffs.
We know that in the Division Series, the wild card team plays the team with the best record. However, an MLB rule states that teams from the same division are not allowed to face each other in the Division Series. At this point in the AL, Boston is the 1st place team and New York is the wild card team (both in the East Division). Therefore, NY should the play the 2nd place team. The problem is that the LA Angels and the Cleveland Indians have been flipping back and forth as to who is in the second spot for a while. Also, since the 13th of September, they have had the same win/loss record.
If the season ends with LAA and CLE with the same win/loss record, who will play the NY in the first round (assuming no changes).
