FAQ

Did the Atlanta Braves make the 2026 postseason?

Atlanta Braves are the NL No. 3 seed. Their Wild Card Series (best of three) opponent is Philadelphia Phillies (No. 6 seed). All three games are at home.

How is the magic number computed?

Assume every rival wins all remaining games; the magic number is the minimum wins that still guarantee a spot. Ties count against the team, so it can show later than official.

Does the sixth-best record in the league make it?

Not necessarily. Division winners are in regardless of record, so a team with a better record can still miss out if it loses the wild-card race.
