    Re: Reds' magic number

    Here's a site designed about a decade ago with the help of one of my friends at Cal-Berkeley. It's more accurate than the other magic number sites I've seen because it writes the MLB schedule into the formula. The numbers represent the number necessary to clinch a "tie" and force a one-game playoff (like in 1999). So I always add 1 to the magic number.

    http://riot.ieor.berkeley.edu/~baseb...al_league.html

    At start of play on the morning of August 29, the Reds' magic number for reaching the playoffs is only 29.
    Stick to your guns.

    In other words, the division is really the Reds to win right now and it would take a pretty sizeable collapse to lose it.

    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    I think a lot depends on the series with the Cards. If the Cards sweep they can make up a ton of ground fast. Then after that series the Reds go to Colorado for 4 games. It's a tough week stretch.

    True but the Cards will NEED to sweep. Otherwise, they're going to have an uphill battle.

    I didn't wanna say it, but it's true. But as others have mentioned, we'll really have a good idea exactly one week from now.
