Deciding WS HFA based on the outcome of the ASG is not only dumb it is solely based on Selig needing to force the fan voted stars to play in order to meet the agreed terms in the TV contract signed by MLB. We could do away with the ASG for all I care.
Way WS HFA should be determined:
1. A division winner gets HFA over a WC winner from the other league
2. If both teams are division winners or both are WC winners ... HFA next would go to the team with the better regular season record.
3. If both teams have identical regular season records ... HFA would go to the team with better interleague play record.
4. If both teams have identical interleague play records ... HFA goes to the team with the better record head to head against the other league champion.
5. If the teams split their head to head wins evenly (or didn't meet during the regular season) ... then if it is an odd number year the NL gets HFA ... and if it is an even number year the AL team gets HFA.
