What this page carries
A magic number for San Diego Padres against the rival that sets it, an elimination number, both routes to October — the division and the wild card — the earliest date each race could be settled, the head-to-head games still to play, and the strength of what is left on the schedule. Every number is computed from wins, losses and the real remaining schedule rather than read off a published field.
