3 way tie between Milwaukee, San Francisco and Los Angeles. If you add up head to head records, it was Milwaukee, LA and then SF.

Actually, in the case of a real-life three-way tie, the first step is
relative head-to-head records. That means you rank the clubs by its record in the
season series against each of the other clubs. For example, if one club had won both season series against the other two, then it would get first pick as to whether to be club A, B, or C in the tie-breaker.
Only if the clubs had identical records against each other, or their was a split in season series against each other, then the total head-to-head record is used (i.e. sum of the record of each club's results against the others and whichever has the highest winning percentage gets first selection).
In the case of a three-way tie for one wild card spot, the real-life procedure is as follows:
Day 1—B at A (winner plays on day 2; loser eliminated)
Day 2—C at A/B (winner gets wild card; loser eliminated)
In the case of a three-way tie for two wild card spots, the real-life procedure is:
Day 1—B at A (winner gets first wild card; loser plays on day 2)
Day 2—A/B at C (winner is second wild card; loser eliminated)
