Uno! Braves grand comeback in Houston (after earlier Phillies loss) leaves them on the verge of a division title.
Magic Number: 1
Two Padres losses will clinch it for the Braves. So if they lose tonight, the Braves would have 3 clinching scenarios tomorrow.
But I figure if most of y'all are paying attention to anything in MLB tonight it's the NYM/PHI game
Diamondbacks lost.
Magic number for the playoffs is 1.
Need a win or DBacks loss for a spot.
Don't think the Padres factor ATM but I'll confirm tomorrow.

SD and AZ both lost
Magic Number for the playoffs is 2
Braves can clinch today with:
A win over the Cubs
AND
A loss by the Padres OR the D-Backs
Keeping it 💯. Perez pitches around traffic, error for win number 100, his first on the road since June 13. Braves hit trio of 2-run homers for comeback. Bullpen shuts it down.
With the Phillies loss earlier, here's where the Magic Numbers stand:
Division: 5
Playoffs: 3
A loss by the Padres or the Diamondbacks tonight would mean scenarios to clinch a playoff spot tomorrow
For those curious about why I make so many disclaimers about it, scenario 2 here technically leaves a "playoff magic number" of 1, yet definitely clinches a playoff spot.
Instant classic. Braves come back three times in series opener vs Phils, walk it off in 11.
Magic Numbers:
Division/WC home field: 9
Playoffs: 7
We've always been here @BrandonGaudin @CJNitkowski
But some of your co-workers from the old Fox Sports days might be afraid to put up a magic number after the Great Magic Number Controversy of 2020.
