      Notes & Tie‑breakers
      • The magic number is any combination of leader wins and opponent losses.
      • Since 2022 there’s no Game 163. Ties are settled by MLB tie‑breakers (H2H, intradivision, etc.). This tool reports the traditional magic number, not tie‑breaker status.
      • Works for any league size; just enter your division’s records.
