Do they play the team with the best record in the league.
I assume they can't play someone within their division in the first round, is that correct?
What is the procedure?

I know for certain the Wild Card winner cannot play their division winner in Division series. Eg. Cubs if they win WC would not play Cards regardless of records.

Yes, I believe if the season ended right now in the AL the Yanks would host the Twins, and the A's would host the Red Sox.

Best record in each league plays the wild card team, unless its in the same division....Then it goes to the next best team....
