How The Number Works

The Chicago Cubs Magic Number is calculated using the following formula:
Total Number of Games + 1 - Wins by the Cubs - Losses by NL Central opponent with fewest losses.

The Magic Number is affected by one of two events: a Cubs win or that opponent losing. The number was 163 at the beginning of the season. When the number hits 0, the Cubs have clinched the NL Central and are in the PLAYOFFS!

This site represents the Magic Number for clinching the National League Central Division. If the Wild Card becomes relevant for getting into the postseason, this site may contain both. In that case, the Wild Card number will clearly be denoted.
