What fun playoff race this has been (I say that now, a week ago not so much)... the math nerds are loving it as well!
Jays have a 97.7% chance of making the playoffs.
The Jays "Magic Number vs. Seattle" is 3... this is the traditional number, 3 Jays wins or Mariner losses guarantees the Jays a playoff birth. Usually a magic number includes 2 teams, 1 leading and 1 trailing.
Since the Jays are essentially leading 3 teams at once they probably have 3 separate magic numbers vs. each team. However, since those teams also play each other their playoffs magic number is lower, but is not strictly linear on chasing team losses (that is a Seattle loss is not a true 1.0 on their playoff magic number)....
Anyways... would love to see the Jays clinch a spot in the next 3 days, which seems very possible, and be allowed to setup their roster for the post season.
Also, would love the Jays to clinch the 6th seed (play Twins) vs. 5 seed (play Rays). I see no problem in resting literally everyone the final day of the season hoping to do so.
