2026 Magic Number Thread

[formerlybis]

Based on the comment that the magic number compares one team vs another, as of the afternoon of 8/20 (* = MKE owns tiebreaker):

NLC:

• CHC: 30
• STL: 20* 
• PIT: 18
• CIN: 17

Others of note:

• LAD: 32*
• ATL: 31
• PHI: 26 (Phils are as close to ATL as CHC is to MKE, and also have 7 games H2H left)
• SD: 24
• AZ: 22* (this is a key one as it would mean clinching the postseason - next closest is MIA at 19*)

 

• COL: 6* (won't be long now - SF is next at 9)
