If this was a three-way tie for second place, I guess the most appropriate comparison on that page would be 'Three-Club Tie for One Wild Card Spot'. It may be possible to do this with just a single game, but I don't know how.

Hmmm...Not sure I like a system where the team with the best head to head record among the three teams has to win two games to reach the playoffs, while the 3rd best team gets a bye. I think I'll see if I can change that, and give Boston a bye on the first day, making it Team C (White Sox) @ Team B (Senators), with the winner of that game facing the Team A (Red Sox) in Boston. It just makes more sense to me. Not sure why MLB would do it that way. Thank you for that link though!
