Tiebreaker locations
The New York Yankees would host the Boston Red Sox if a one-game playoff is needed to break a tie for the American League East division title.
In the event a tiebreaker is needed for the AL Wild Card, New York would play at Cleveland and Cleveland would play at Boston.
If three teams finish with the same record and a tiebreaker is needed, the teams in the same division play a tiebreaker for first place, and the loser meets the team from the other division in a one-game wild-card tiebreaker.
If a tiebreaker game is necessary for the National League Wild Card, Philadelphia would host Houston.
