Where can i find the what the red sox magic number is to clinched the wild card?

Well the answer is that your magic number is three. The equation is:

Take the number of games yet to be played, add one, then subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the standings from the closest opponent.

You can go to Mlb.com and click on standings and click and wild card or you can figure the Red Sox have 7 more games to play, add one and that's 8 and they lead Texas by 6 games in the loser's column so that's 2 for the magic number.

i'd love for the crimson Sox to lose their next video games vs. Cleveland and for the Yankees to brush the Blue Jays so the Yankees could have a raffle to scouse borrow the wild card from Boston. in simple terms think of for a 2d. The Yankees come into Boston, teetering close to to removal. The crimson Sox start up feeling the stress and the followers get all pre-2004 irritating. The nerves are adequate to rattle Boston and the Yankees bypass in enjoying loose and loose. they're twiddling with domicile money, already having been given up for ineffective. The Yanks' bats respond, Mussina, Pettitte and Aceves pitch large and the Yankees sweep the crimson Sox at Fenway. That contraptions up a one-activity playoff at.....YANKEE STADIUM! sure! by making use of distinctive function of a coin turn, the Yankees get domicile field earnings for the winner-take-all showdown. It supplies Yankees followers one final curtain call for The Cathedral of Baseball. What the thank you to close out Yankee Stadium - and the thank you to make up for the scheduling snafu that had the Yankees dealing with the Orioles in the Stadium finale. tell me that doesn't be an incredible tale for significant League Baseball, to get one extra ounce of drama out of the 2008 season. Yankees! crimson Sox! Winner take all. Loser is going domicile. no remember who wins, that activity would get significant rankings. yet fairly, I anticipate the crimson Sox will clinch earlier the Yankees get to Fenway. yet a guy can dream, won't be able to he? Oh and the crimson Sox are not catching the Rays. notably if the Yankees have something to declare approximately it. do not think of with the aid of fact the Yankees are out of it that the Yanks won't play to win in Fenway.

As of now, it's at 3 which can be a combination of Red Sox wins + Rangers losses.

(edit it is now 2 since the Rangers lost today)

it's 3
