Before the 1961 & 1962 expansions

Not sure how to write it in. Before the 1961 American League & 1962 National League expansions, the regular season for both leagues were 154 games. As a result, the tie-breaker game (Game 155) or NL tie-breaker series (Games 155, 156 & if necessary 157) wouldn't have been called Game 163. GoodDay (talk) 20:44, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should this years Mets-Braves series be included here?

Obviously its not a tiebreaker in the traditional sense, but the way the game is being treated it essentially has become one. Thoughts? Esolo5002 (talk) 02:52, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not an outright tiebreaker series, but because the teams ended tied (alongside Arizona), it should probably get a mention somewhere. O.N.R. ^(talk) 12:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New section dedicated to the 2022–present tiebreaker scenarios

Similar to the above section, perhaps there should be a section for the 2022–present tiebreaker scenarios? This would include:

Atlanta Braves–New York Mets 2022 tiebreaker (101–61), determining division leader.
Houston Astros–Texas Rangers 2023 tiebreaker (90–72), determining division leader.
Miami Marlins–Arizona Diamondbacks 2023 tiebreaker (84–78), determining the Wild Card 2 and 3 seeds.
Kansas City Royals–Detroit Tigers 2024 tiebreaker (86–76), determining the Wild Card 2 and 3 seeds.
Atlanta Braves–New York Mets–Arizona Diamondbacks 2024 three-way tiebreaker (89–73), determining Wild Card 2 and 3 seeds and elimination (ATL/NYM having winning records vs AZ, reverting the three-way tiebreaker to a head-to-head of ATL vs NYM).
