It can get complicated if it ends up being a 3 way tie where the Astros would end up winning the tiebreaker on aggregate head to head record. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by chw42

2 hours ago2 hr The best record Houston can currently end up with is 83-79. They have tie-breaker over the Sox. Thus the Sox need to get to 84 wins to finish ahead of Houston. Magic number = 4.The best record Texas can finish with is 84-78. The Sox hold the tie-breaker over Texas so they only have to tie them to win the WC. Thus the Sox need to get to 84 wins. Magic number = 4.
