Isn't that exactly what would have happened if Cleveland, Boston and New York ended up with the same record?

There's a lot more to play for if it's a chance to be in the playoffs than simply to determine your opponent and whether you have home field advantage. Given the Yankees' effort yesterday, which mattered at least as far as their getting a higher seed, one can see why they don't bother with playoff games merely to determine seeding.
