There would be a one game tie breaker in Chicago because the Cubs won the coin toss for hosting the tie breaker. The winner is the Central division champ and advances to the playoffs.
here are the results of the coin flips

MLB Flips Coins To Decide Tie-Breaker Locations
MLB conducted coin tosses to decide where potential one-game playoff games take place.
In fact, all the current division races in the American League required no flips.
In the AL Wild Card Race, the Yankees were the big winners (2-0) and the Mariners (0-2) were the big losers. Here are the results for the AL Wild Card.
Mariners @ Yankees

The 1 game playoff would be in Chicago on Monday. I know the Cubs have already announced their starter to be Jason Marquis if they had to play that game.
The winner goes to the post season, the loser waits til next year.

Cubs will win the Division, because they have more wins over the Brewers in their series against each other this season.

There would be a tie breaker between both of the teams. They would only play one game though.
