What happens if 3 teams tie for the division lead at the end of the season? Say, if the White Sox also posted an 86-76 record, along with the Twins and Tigers...what would happen then to decide the division winner? Anyone know? Just curious...

One game tie-breakers are played between teams tied for a division or wildcard on the day after the season was scheduled to end. Contrary to what some believe, home field advantage was not determined by head-to-head record in the regular season until 2009. For example, in 1995, the Seattle Mariners and California Angels played a one-game playoff to break a tie for the AL West championship. The Mariners hosted (and won) the one game playoff, but lost the season series 5 games to 7 games (excluding the one game playoff). Home field advantage in the game was determined by a series of coin tosses that occurred a few weeks before the end of the season between teams that were close enough to each other in the standings where a tie becomes a significant possibility. If new situations occur (i.e. a team quickly rises in the standings making another tie possible) more coin tosses occurred.

I'd say it go off record vs each other and the team with the worst record vs the others would be eliminated and the game be played between the top 2
