Well, not really the same winning percentage if you go to the fourth decimal place. Houston's winning percentage is .5370 while Oakland's is .5366.
I'm glad everyone is having a bit of a laugh with this. But still, when it's all said and done, this sort of thing should NOT be happening. The tie in this case was actually a straightforward one: three clubs tied for one playoff spot. The normal three-way tiebreaking rules would apply (which OOTP sort of does right sometimes).
