(*)-magic number.  Any combination of wins by the first place team and 
loses by the second place team will clinch the division/wildcard.

The tie game between LA and Atlanta created an odd situation where Chicago's magic number applies to clinching first in the division over Atlanta and not Milwaukee (Chicago's magic number to clinch againts Milwaukee is "2"). The same thing applies to LA in the wildcard, LA needs a combination of wins and Atlanta loses totaling 6 to clinch a wildcard spot.

No team has clinched a playoff spot yet.
