Here's the deal with the standings for the rest of the year. The first elimination number will be for the second half title, and the second will be for the wild card. That will be the same for the magic numbers. Because of this, some teams could have a magic number and elimination number on the same line. I won't have numbers for San Jose and Lake Elsinore because they already have playoff spots. Hopefully I don't confuse myself with all of this and have accurate numbers for you guys.
