I'd argue that our magic number for wold card is really 4 ( sort of). Cards and dodgers can't both win more than 92. So 4 wins by us, and we get the wild card.
Very interesting, if the Nats win four more games the worst we do is tie for the last wild card spot. But if the Nats lose all 19 remaining, the Dodgers can get swept by the Cards,losing all four games, and still tie us. So the Magic Number is five.
