20 — The Magic Number

As we grow closer to Octoberquest — the race for the MLB World Series — the “Magic Number” for my Angels has been determined. And, that number is twenty — the combination of wins by the leading team — the Angels, naturally — and losses by the second-place (or tied) team that would clinch the American League West Division title. And with a favorable schedule for the rest of the season I believe that “magic number” will be decreasing at a steady rate. The Halos have 13 more games at home and 12 on the road with a majority of their series opponenents making up five of the six worst teams in the AL.
