Re: Magic Number Thread.
That Houston series is now even more massive. Effectively worth an extra 0.5 win in the standings as the tie-breaker is on the line.

Re: Magic Number Thread.
Great stuff, do we need to add the Ms hold the tiebreaker over the Tigers after beating them 4-2 in the regular season series? Or have you already calculated that in? I guess you will have.
