What some fans don't know is that there is NOT always a playoff if two leading teams tie in a division at the end of the season.
If both teams are eligible for a wild card playoff, there is no playoff. The winner is the team that wins the series vs. each other. The second criteria is the winner of most games in the division.
After all, unlike past years, the Bosox are not hitting on all cylinders. Although LAA could be a wild card contender.
