Since when has the tie breaker been best head-to-head record? I thought there was a one game playoff if a tie in the division standings should occur.

In all sports leagues its like that (NHL, NFL, NBA...)

Am I missing something? When did this method of breaking ties start?

Yeah I'm also confused with this. All they've been talking about is if they finish with the same record they will play a tie-breaker, but the Yankees won and now they're saying they won the division even if the RedSox win 2morrow and they finish with the same record. wtf ???
-
even if red sox and yanks hav same record, yanks get the division because they beat the bosox in their regular season series.
i think that tie breaker wudve happend if the indians, bosox and yanks all had the same record and all were tied for the wild-card race

One word: Indians.
• With one day left in the regular season, the Yankees (95-66) lead the Red Sox (94-67) by one game in the AL East. And the Red Sox lead the Indians (93-68) by one game in the AL wild-card derby. But according to our geometric tiebreaker chart, just reworked by 11 department heads at M.I.T., the Yankees have clinched the East. The Red Sox and Indians, on the other hand, haven't clinched anything.
• So on Sunday, the Red Sox and Yankees will play a 2 p.m. EDT game at Fenway -- a game whose importance had almost nothing to do with what happened Saturday in the same ballpark. Why? Because if the Indians had just won, neither team could have clinched the East on Saturday -- and they would have been playing Sunday either for the division or to force a tiebreaker playoff game Monday.
• But because the Indians lost, the AL East race became irrelevant -- and only the wild card was still alive to be decided Sunday. That, you see, was because there could no longer be any more three-team ties -- just two-team ties. And according to the rules of baseball, which are not to be confused with any rules ever devised by Kennesaw Mountain Landis, two-team ties are only broken on the field if they determine whether teams make the playoffs -- but not if both teams know they're in, even if they're tied for first place.
• So here's what's up Sunday: If the Red Sox win, they're the wild-card team. If they lose, they're still in if Cleveland loses. If they lose and Cleveland wins, there's a play-in game Monday at Fenway.
Got all that? No, huh? Well, we could go on for a few thousand more paragraphs, and try to explain why it all works this way. But we're assuming your brain already exploded a few minutes ago, when we tried to lay out what we've already detailed.
If it makes you feel better, though, you should know this: The Red Sox didn't even know they'd lost the division Saturday until after they'd already lost it.
Seriously.
-
indians season is over :(
they lost 3 to 1

So we have...
NYY vs. LAA
CWS vs. BOS
