Background:
Someone should also set-up a similar question for both the AL and NL wildcard races, but those require greater than 10 possible outcomes.
Settlement details:
As reported by a Major League baseball.
If an AL East team also gets the wild card, it is the Division winner who wins this question - it isn't a tie.
