2-way Tiebreakers, based on head-to-head (see grid above):
TEX over TB ... therefore TB @ TEX Monday
TB over CLEVE... therefore CLEVE @ TB Monday
CLEVE over TEX... therefore TEX @ CLEVE Monday

3-way tie, head-to-head records:
CLE 7-5
TB 7-6
TEX 5-8
So it would be #2 TB @ #1 CLE on MON, with the winner going to the wildcard game. The loser plays @ #3 TEX on TUES to determine the other entry.
