I thought the tie break rule when both teams were assured of playoffs anyway was to default to regular season head-to-head. When did it change?

2012 when the second wildcard was added

Two game 163's today. that's rad. I love this week of the sports calendar whether the Phils are involved or not and this adds even more.
