How the line and tiebreakers work
MLB resolves equal records without a Game 163, beginning with head-to-head record and then intradivision and intraleague records before later scheduled-game comparisons.
Cutline and guarantee math uses the current SportsDB table plus scheduled games remaining. Equal records still require the official tiebreaker; provider schedule gaps can change the estimate.
