We don't follow the exact rules of the WBC for ties. Our general tiebreaking formula:
-Regular record (ie. through the first 162 games in MLB, through the 3 round-robin games in WBC)
-total record (including tiebreak games)
-head to head among tied teams
-intra-division record (not applicable in WBC)
-intra-league record (not applicable in WBC)
-Run differential in head to head games
-run differential in all games
-runs allowed per inning
-earned runs allowed per inning
-flip a coin
That's for regular season. Playoff round-robin ties I guess are a little different. They go:
-wins
-head to head
-run diff in h2h games
-run diff in series
-flip a coin
Basically, we don't follow the exact WBC or MLB tiebreak rules, but kind of mix and match.
