The top three teams hold the wild card spots. The dashed line on the chart is the pace of the last spot. A magic number counts what would settle a spot. A team in a spot needs that many wins of its own, losses by the first team out, or any mix of the two. An E number is the same count for a team below the line, measured against the last team in. Reach it and that team's chase is over.
