If the tie only involves the wildcard, then it's the standard three-way tiebreaker.
B at A on the first day, C at the winner of A/B the next day. The winner of that game gets the wildcard berth.
The tiebreaking playoff game procedures are not as complicated as it might first seem from reading MLB's rules (other that the use of head-to-head record to determine which teams are A, B, and C in a three-way tie).
