The scenario matrix projects division outcomes across remaining AL West matchups, tracking win records, head to head records, and magic numbers. Magic number equals one hundred sixty-three minus leader wins minus second-place losses. As leader wins accumulate, the required threshold drops. Selecting the Astros Sweep Set preset awards Houston maximum wins in head-to-head sets, locking the tiebreaker advantage and clinching the division title.
