🏁 Seeding race by result

All five postseason places are settled. Standings built from every game finished through Oct 4, plus this one result, recomputed for all 10 clubs: reachable ranks and clinch wins for each place. Arithmetic, not odds.

KIA win

  • KIAClinch wins for a top-3 finish: 6 W→5 WClinch wins for a top-4 finish: 3 W→2 W
  • LGClinch wins for a top-3 finish: 6 W→Needs help

Both clubs going in (games through Oct 4)

  • KIA#3 · 74-61-2Reachable rank 3rd–5thClinched a postseason spot
  • LG#4 · 75-62-1Reachable rank 3rd–5thClinched a postseason spot

Reachable rank = the range of places a club can still finish in, from winning or losing every remaining game (finishes decided by a tie included — the same calculation as the Possible rank column on the KBO standings page). Clinch wins for a place = remaining wins that secure that place or better whatever other clubs do (ties count against the club). Magic and tragic numbers no longer change now that all five places are settled.
