Just For Kicks, an NL Playoff 3-Way Tie Scenario

This is from baseballmusings.com, a site that I dont normally like.
This is a fun little snippet though.
Quote:
One commenter asked in this post, "What happens if there is a five-way tie???" Chris gave the basic explanation there, but to help out, here's the list coin flip results for two way ties. So, if the Mets and Phillies are tied, they play Monday in Philadelphia.
Breaking the three-way tie in the west would be trickier. If a three way tie happens, Colorado will have the best combined record between the three teams, with Arizona second and San Diego third. Colorado gets to select if it wants to play at home on day one, and then at home on day two if they win, or on the road for game two only. My guess is they take the day off. Arizona would then likely take the first home game, and the winner would host Colorado on Tuesday.
The loser of the NL East game, and the losers of the Monday and Tuesday games in the NL West, meet in another two game tournament on Wednesday and Thursday. We'll deal with that possibility when we get there, but right now the Rockies have a winning record against all other opponents.

Colorado and Arizona cannot tie. They are playing each other for the last three games and Arizona has a 2 game lead. A tie is not possible.

Or if Arizona had. At any rate, I was just pointing out that it was moot. A 4 way tie is still out there though.
