I went through the 2019 MLB season and recalculated the standings based on games ending as a tie after 12 inning had been played (the rule used in the Asian leagues). This is what it would have looked like:

Code:
Team   G    W    L   T

AL East

NYA  162  102   59   1
TBA  162   94   65   3
BOS  162   82   76   4
TOR  162   66   94   2
BAL  162   53  106   3

AL Central

MIN  162  100   60   2
CLE  162   92   69   1
CHA  161   71   89   1
KCA  162   59  102   1
DET  161   47  111   3

AL West

HOU  162  105   53   4
OAK  162   95   64   3
TEX  162   78   84   0
ANA  162   72   87   3
SEA  162   67   92   3

NL East

ATL  162   95   65   2

CIN  162   75   86   1
PIT  162   68   92   2

NL West

LAN  162  106   55   1
ARI  162   82   76   4
SFN  162   73   83   6
COL  162   69   90   3
SDN  162   70   92   0
Something that people tend to forget is that tie games can happen in MLB and the minor leagues. It's just that, while the player and team statistics from tie games are counted, the result of the game in the standings is completely ignored. Tie games are also replayed if possible.
