I will try to simplify this
Current record
NY 93-58 8.5 GU on Cle
Cle 85-67 10 remaining
Chi 76-76 10 rem 9.0GB #1 magic number
Min 74-78 10 rem 11.0GB eliminated
#2 seed Magic # is adding wins to games remaining - NYY win so 85 CLE wins + 10 remaining - 93 NYY wins + 1/0 which they have over us = (85+10-93 +0) = 2
If we win out we are 95-67, NYY just needs to be 2-9 to be 95-67 and own the tie breaker over us.
Cle 85-77 (0-9 rest)
Chi 86-76 (10-0 rest to win division - as we win tiebreaker)
White Sox -
Tigers(0), Guardians (0),
Tigers (1), Twins(3), Padres(3), Twins(3)
Guardians -
Twins(0), Sox(0)
Rangers(1), Tampa(3), KC(6)
Magic # is adding wins to games remaining - Cle win so 76 Chi wins + 10 remaining - 85 Cleveland wins + 1/0 if we need tiebreaker win= (76+10-85 +0) =1
For Min = 74 + 10 - 85 + 0 (as we own the tiebreaker) = 0
