Start the Brewers Magic Number countdown! On a whim, I thought I’d look up how to calculate the magic number for a team. It’s basically games remaining minus how many games the team is up over that team plus one. So here are the Brewers magic numbers:
St. Louis Cardinals: 48
Pittsburgh Pirates: 44
Cincinnati Reds: 44
Chicago Cubs: 36
Houston Astros: 27
Let the countdown begin!
