Here's my attempt to sort out the scenario: AL East champ: 4 teams, two days to crown a champ. AL West champ: 3 teams, draw lots for one team to get a bye, other two play, winner plays bye team for division crown. Then you have six teams and two wild card spots. Draw lots for two byes. Other four teams play, winners advance to play the bye teams. Winners of those games are the two wild card winners, and they advance to play each other in the actual Wild Card game. It's like an 8-team draw with two byes. It would take 9 games and four days, I think. And in this scenario if the Twins lucked out and got a bye, they would only need one win to advance to the WC.
