What if there is a tie for the AL Wild Card? Well, it means more One and Done Games.

[El Supremo]

Or maybe two before the One and Done Wild Card Game. This makes my head hurt!

All three tie for both wild card spots: The teams would be seeded based on their cumulative records against each other, which means the No. 1 seed would go to the Indians (7-5); the No. 2 seed to the Rays (7-6) and the No. 3 seed to the Rangers (5-8).

Cleveland would have the choice to choose an A, B or C designation. In this scenario, Club A would host Club B for one wild card spot, and the loser would travel to play Club C. So, of course, the Indians would take the 'A' designation.

The Rays would have an interesting decision -- try to win one of two games on the road, or sit back at home and wait for the loser to come to town for a one-game showdown? The Rangers are left with the final route.

Once the two wild cards are decided, they would meet in the one-game wild card round. The home team would be determined by the season series. If the Rangers and Rays are the two wild card teams, Texas would host the wild card game after going 4-3 against Tampa Bay this season. If it's the Rangers and Indians, Texas would be at Cleveland after the Tribe went 5-1.

Two teams tie for second wild card: Again, the home team would be determined by season series. The Rangers would be at home against the Rays, and on the road against the Indians. The winner, of course, would be on the road for the wild card round.

1. They shouldn't call these Wild Card games anymore...it's now Sudden Death...nt

[Auggie]

2. This is bullshit. Head-to-head play should determine the two wild cards, not this scenario.

What a fucking joke.

3. I like it.
