Friday Magic Numbers

With 24 days left in the MLB season, here are the weekly magic numbers:



AL East:
NY Yankees, +9 on Boston: 14

AL Central:
Detroit, +5.5 on Minnesota: 18

AL West:
LA Angels, +5 on Texas: 19

AL Wild Card:
Boston, +2 on Texas: 22

NL East:
Philadelphi, +5 on Florida: 19

NL Central:
St. Louis, +11.5 on Chicago: 12

NL West:
LA Dodgers, +2 on Colorado: 20

NL Wild Card:
Colorado, +4.5 on San Francisco: 18

An incredibly unlikely scenario this week: St. Louis could potentially clinch the NL Central with a 5-1 stretch this week if the Cubs were to go 0-7, Houston loses two games, and Milwaukee loses one.
