can anyone figure out the AL playoff seedings?

I have not worked through all the tiebreakers, but I think the following is true.

Were the NYY to win today, they'd get the top seed (95-67).   

Best of the west - Oakland or Texas - will finish 94-68.  Loser will be 93-69.

Were the NYY to lose and the O's to win, they would have a tiebreaker game, with the winner getting the top seed (95 - 68) and the loser (94-69) hosts the wild card game. 

O's win today and and NYY wins, the Os host the WC game (94-68). 

Don't ask me what happens if both NYY and the Os lose.  NYY would tie with the West winner at 94-68, and the Os would tie with the west runner up at 93-69.
