Interesting situation in Berra right now in the AL. What are the tiebreakers for Divisional Championship and Wild Card. Right now, AL North has 2 teams still in the divisional hunt with 1 game to go, both are competing for either the #1 or #2 Wild Card spot as well, depending on how things finish up. The winner of the Division is also competing with the AL East for the #3 or #4 seed.

If they finished tied, then the tiebreaker is used to determine division champiosnhip.  First tiebreaker is head-to-head, and Augusta and Toronto went 5-5 against each other.  Augusta would win on the second tiebreaker (division record).

What would be the next tie breaker? I'm in league where I may end up with same head-to-head record and same division record...

From the "Help" page:

Tiebreakers - A tiebreaker system is used if two or more teams tie for a playoff berth. Head-to-head record is used first, then division record, then run differential, then last season's record and finally a coin flip.
