What is the tiebreaker for 3 teams?

The Reds have won the head to head competition over the Cardinals and the Astros. So according to Answer #2, They would be the #1 seed. And the Astros would be the second seed. So would the Reds play the winner of the Astros/Cardinals game?

Tiebreaker games.
If the three tied Clubs have identical records against one another in the championship season, the Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw that results in the Clubs' being designated Club "A," "B," and "C."
If the tied Clubs do not have identical records against one another in the champoinship season, they will be designated Club "A,""B," and "C" based on their records in head-to- head competition during the championship season as follows:
If Club 1 has a better record against each of Clubs 2 and 3, and Club 2 has a better record against Club 3, then Club 1 shall choose a designation as Club "A," "B," or "C," and Club 2 shall choose a designation from the remaining two designations. Club 3 shall be assigned the remaining designation.
If Club 1 has a better record against each of Clubs 2 and 3, and Club 2 and Club 3 have the same record against each other, then Club 1 shall choose a designation as Club "A," "B," or "C," and the Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw between Clubs 2 and 3, the winner of which shall choose one of the remaining two designations. The remaining Club shall be assigned the remaining designation.
If Club 1 and Club 2 have the same record against each other but each has a better record against Club 3, then the Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw between Clubs 1 and 2, the winner of which shall choose a designation as Club "A," "B," or "C." The Club losing the draw shall choose a designation from the remaining two designations. Club 3 shall be assigned the remaining designation.
If Club 1 has a better record against Club 2, Club 2 has a better record against Club 3, and Club 3 has a better record against Club 1, then the three Clubs shall be ranked on the basis of overall winning percentage within that three-Club group, and the Club with the highest winning percentage from among that three-Club group shall have first choice among designations as Club"A," "B," or "C," the Club with the next highest winning percentage from among that three-Club group shall have the next choice between the two remaining designations, and the Club with the lowest winning percentage from among that three-Club group shall be assigned the remaining designation. If two or more of the Clubs within such three-Club group have the same winning percentage among the group, the Office of the Commissioner shall supervise a draw between the Clubs so tied to determine priority of selection among the designations.
Club"A" shall play Club "B" at the ballpark of Club "A". The following day, the winner of the first game shall be the home Club in a second game, against Club "C." The winner of the game between Club"C" and the Club that won the game between Club"A" and Club"B" shall be declared the Division Champion.

If the astros finsh within .5 games of the cards either direction, THEN the Cards have to play the make-up game against SF. Then if a tie exists they will play the next dau in Houston to decide the winner. If the reds also tie. . . they haven't decided as far as I know.

Barring the usual answers.
The Cardinals would have to play the SF Giants in a makeup game on Monday the 2nd. The league never rescheduled that rained out game.
So if the Cards were to win that, Cards win the Central.

Just so you know, the Cards DO have a game to make up if it ends in a tie in any way. Last week a game against the Giants was cancelled due to rain. So if it ends in a tie at the end of the season, the Cards will get the opportunity to play that game.

Not sure if baseball has included the Reds in this scenario, but the Cardinals will first have to make up a game that was cancelled with the Giants on Monday.
If the two are tied after that, the playoff game is Tuesday in Houston.
