I agree that wp is the way to do it. However, just from the experience of running a poll like this, we may have to go out 6 or 7 decimal points on the wp to determine the winner.
Sure. WP is always indicated by 3 digits, rounding the final digit. But when 2 or more are equal, you have to take it out to as many decimals places as necessary to separate them.

I predict there will be a MLB season but only 100 games and our beloved BUCS will go:
39-61 389 runs
39-61 389 runs

Yikes. Found an old sports section. Didn't realize how bad the BUCS record was for spring training. I know they don't count but it looks like it would have been a long season. Maybe it's best for me because I see the Phillies were on top. Not my favorite team.
I still say there will be a shortened season. I actually think the attendance will be decent regardless of how bad they are. Pretty sure every home game will have a promo and people will want to get the hell out of the house.

10-15 rest of season cancelled because of too many virus cases.

20-40...and I actually think I'm being generous. I could honestly see them going 15-45. I think this team is absolutely atrocious. I see no reason for optimism among this group. I think Fangraphs has them at 27-33. No way. Below average everywhere but 1B/DH...backups at CF and C. The other "starters" wouldn't start for most big league teams. Rotation is a joke. Bullpen is the only thing that makes the rotation look semi-respectable. And that’s not a compliment. It’s like saying, “Next to the asteroid taking out our planet, this whole COVID thing ain’t half bad.” (Bonus points if you have “killer asteroid” on your Hunger Games 2020 Bingo card). Like I said...20-40, but I honestly think it will be closer to 17-43. If everything breaks wrong, and let's be honest...when DOESN'T it break wrong with this team...they could lose 45.
