Thus, my team went from 5 games out of the second wild card spot to 15 games out to 5 games out, simply because the division leaders were tied for one game.

I wonder how it would be listed in real life. Do they go to a tie breaker during the season in this situation?
I just figured when I read it that If teams have identical records and are tied for first neither is really in possession of first place so in essence they are both wildcards until one of them gains the lead in the division and then everyone bumps up a spot. I also realize I don't know
