There are 4 teams that have to play in the WC round... of those teams, it should be that the one with the best record is declared the #3 seed, regardless of whether or not they are a division winner. That way you don't get a relatively weak team that won a crappy division playing the #6 seed, with the winner of that going on to play the #2 seed. Meanwhile the #1 seed is forced to play the best WC team. Yikes what a stupid format.
Simply give the #3 seed to the top WC team if their record is better than the weakest division winner. Problem solved and you don't have to reseed after the WC round.

Yeah. This year in the AL the #1, #2, and #4 teams are on the same side of the bracket.
