any teams are tied for a division and the other team would be a wild card. Since 1995 the team with the better head-to-head won the division in that case.

And it would now be possible for a third place team to win the World Series. (both wild cards from the same division)

Too many teams! Go back to two divisions each and have a three game series to break ties.
