How does Philly advance? I should have the tie-breaker from winning the week 19 matchup 6-3-3 Pretty sure its win % then h2h but will confer with rest of TAB. Doesn't appear to be added to rules but that has always been my understanding on playoff tie-breakers. 1. Win % 2. H2H I do believe win % should trump one match-up what you do over a full year should have more impact than one H2H match-up when it comes to the playoffs.

I see now that the same situation happened last year with Cinci & Miami, Miami won H2H but Cincy advanced on win%.
Oh well. I'm getting used to it, made playoffs 7 of last 8 seasons. 1 World Series appearance, 0 World Series titles.
Good luck to those who advanced.

I thought it happened recently but couldn't find it for sure but we will get it added to the rules so there is no future confusion.

World Series Winner: Boston Red Sox Defeat Miami Marlins 6-5-1
I believe had it remained tied Red Sox would have won as he had the higher win % .614 Vs .611.

Great World Series matchup with the Miami Marlins - went down to the last at bats on batting average. Congrats on a great season and series, Miami.
Even though Kung Fu Panda didn't do anything for the real-life Red Sox, his walkoff HR kept it from being 6-6.
Great season by the whole league - hope to see you all in next year's league as well.
