While Major League Baseball eliminated the tie-breaking 163rd game to settle the matter between teams with identical regular-season records, the 2025 MLB postseason effectively kicks off with a three-game tiebreaker between the Guardians and Tigers. Whoever wins the best-of-three series will have the better record after 164 or 165 games and is free to proceed into the postseason against teams with better records, which feels logically cohesive.
Granted, it does nothing to alleviate the same problem with the Blue Jays and Yankees since that division-winner earned a first-round bye, but for those who aren’t particularly enamored with the expanded six-team postseason fields, you take small victories wherever you can get them.
