Crazy Magic Numbers

Posted by Dave Studeman
If the Cubs win 9 of their last 11 games, they're the wildcard winner, no matter what their rivals do. If the Giants win 8 of their remaining games, they're in the playoffs. Same with the Dodgers.

And yet, there will be only one wildcard winner. Confused? I was too, until the Cub Reporter explained it all. Very interesting.



Dave was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Comments about this article can be sent to him through the miracle of e-mail.
