Such a tie in the real 1947 AL would have resulted in the four teams being divided into two pairs by random drawing. So, for example, you'd have the teams designated as A, B, C, and D. On the first day, B is at A and D is at C. The winners of those two games then meet on the second day, with the site determined by coin toss. The winner on the second day wins the pennant.
The NL would have followed a similar procedure except that it would have used a best-of-three series for both rounds.
