Now It's Officially for the Wild Card

With the Rockies loss and the Dodgers win Thursday night, the Dodgers have all but wrapped up the NL West. Although their Magic Number is officially 4, if the Rockies were to catch them with 93 or 94 wins, neither the Giants or the Braves would be able to tie them and force a tiebreaker for the NL West, so the real magic number for the Dodgers is 3.

So that leaves the Rockies with still a pretty good chance to capture the Wild Card berth, and the Magic Number remains at 7 over the Braves, despite the Giants loss on Thursday night (Thank you ex-Rockie Jeff Baker!)

The Cardinals come in Friday night needing one win to clinch the AL Central, but trail the Phillies for the 2nd Seed by 1/2 game and the Dodgers by 3 for the 1st Seed.
