I am 99% sure that if we tie, we play KC in a one game playoff. I think Doc pulled out the most salient clause, but if you read through the rules (I linked them before), the tiebreakers only ever apply to home field advantage, NOT playoff births. There is also this, the first sentence of the article:
If one game is needed to break a tie for a playoff berth between two teams, it will be played on the Monday after the scheduled end to the regular season, hosted by the team that won the season series against the other.
Just hate to see the discussion here proceed from a false premise! Go M's
