If there is a 3 or 4-way tie, there would have to be 2 rounds to get the wild card representative (team 1 vs 2 & team 3 vs 4, then the winners play each other to determine the #2 WC team).
Adding that 2nd wild card obviously keeps more teams contending deep into the season, but they have been lucky there haven't been more tie situations.
The 2014 wild card game is obviously an amazing part of Royals history, but I still hate the idea of a 1-game playoff "round" for baseball.
