Back in the year of our Lord 2011, the fine posters of Brewerfan.net had a beautiful thread dedicated to the Crew's magic number. I was unable locate that thread and resurrect it. So this will have to do. I lack the skills many of the talented folks here do. I'm hoping others can get this party started!! (Sadly, I'm really less talented than I intended to be. I can't even manage to post a picture of Zach Grienke, Jeff D'Mico, or even the freaking Salad man. No #13 for me)

At 87-66, the Brewers scenarios go like this:

6 for 2nd wild card. Colorado wins out, could get to 92-70, so Brewers need 6 to get to 93.

7 for the first wild card. Cards win out, would be 93-69.

13 for the division as of Thursday morning. Cubs go 6-4, Brewers need to go 9-0.

5-5, 8-1

4-6, 7-2

3-7, 6-3, but this brings the Cardinals back into play for the division at this point, so I will stop. Especially since the Cubs going 3-7 would be most likely predicated by getting swept by the Cardinals.

So were 5 from at least a play in game and 12 from a division tie as well.

So is the magic # to clinch a playoff spot 5 or 6? I’m confused.

 

 

The most games the Rockies can win is 92. So the Brewers need to win 5 to tie for the last wild card spot, 6 to take it outright assuming the Rockies win out.

 

So I'd say the way most people think about it the magic number to clinch a spot is 6. I'm not really sure why that link above is saying 5.

Agree - it's 6. Five only extends the season (a one-game playoff to reach the Wild Card game would be counted as a regular season game).
