Pennant
Own hands (46W)
The magic number has not lit up yet, but the pennant is still in this team's own hands: winning 46 of the remaining 46 games clinches it regardless of other teams' results (magic-equivalent: 46). The number officially lights up once every other team loses the ability to clinch purely on its own wins.
Climax Series
42W to go
42 more wins clinch a Climax Series berth (top three) regardless of other teams' results.
