In the testing I did last year and the year before, sometimes OOTP would settle a three-way tie correctly*, other times it would not. I never was able to discern any pattern. Where it tends to have the most trouble is when clubs are simultaneously tied for playoff positions, e.g. a tie for the division title and wild card spot.
I've got a Wordpad file stuffed full of the various tie-breaking rules used by leagues, baseball and otherwise.
*Other than sometimes the wrong club getting to be the home club in a match-up.
