Anyone know the tiebreaker for home field between division winners with the same w-l record for both playoff rounds.
Record within division?
Head to head?
I could only find this.
League Championship Series:
Until 1998 The LCS alternated home-field advantage with a 2-3 format in the best of 5 era and a 2-3-2 format when it went to best of 7 in 1985. Now home-field advantage goes to the team with the best record unless it is a wild card qualifier.
Division Series:
Until 1998 the Division Series rotated which of the three division champions would not have home field advantage, with the wild card never having it. Now the two division winners with the best records in each league have home field, with the least-winning divisonal winner and the wild card not having home field. The DS used a 2-3 format until 1998 and now uses a 2-2-1 format.
Thanks
