That put the cardinals at 93-62 and the giants at 92-61.
The game sent the cardinals to the world series.
What was the point of the game having a playoff game?
It had no impact on the standings.

That's probably because the Giants didn't play 154 games. They finished two games back with two games unplayed, so the AI must have thought that the only way to resolve the issue was to play a tie-breaker, since the Giants could have tied for the league lead if they had won those two rain-outs.
Not sure how to fix that, as you were probably using the as-played schedules, and those don't automatically schedule make-up games. In real life the Giants didn't have to play out those cancelled games because they finished 13 games behind the Cardinals.
