Tie breaking quirks...
We were actually still in a battle with Philly as well and if we ended up tied with them, the tie breaker could have gone to divisional record where pending the finish of the season they could have still beaten us.
Now the Braves can clinch with a magic number of 2... because one more victory against the Marlins means we would own the tie-breaker against them no matter what happens. If we lose the next 3 to the Marlins they would be 1 back going into the final 3 games of the season. If we went 2-1 against the Sox and they went 3-0 against the Mets, we would end up tied with them having the tie breaker.

If we went 2-1 against the Sox and they went 3-0 against the Mets, we would end up tied with them having the tie breaker. I don't know where you got that but it appears to be true. With a little research it looks like we'd end up 5-5 with Miami if we win tonight then we lost last the next two, and we'd end up 23-17 within the division if won tonight and lost the next two--Miami would end up 22-18 within the division if we won tonight and then they won the last two games.
So we just have to win 1 out of 3.
I'm not going to bother to ask how we could make that difficult.
The good news is we've been pretty clutch when it comes to winning the division during the regular season, that's not been our El Guapo.
Last night's win was YUGE.

The quirk of it is our magic number is not 2 yet, because we could lose the next three games and suddenly the number would be 3 again.

Exactly, but DOB keeps tweeting claiming it's 2. He's not figuring in the tie breaker which could still go either way pending tonights result....

People keep saying it is 2 (technically) but it seems to me that the Marlins would own the tie break if they won the last 3 of this series. It is only 2 if the Braves win one of the next 3 which is what I think is being said above.

It is only 2 if the Braves win one of the next 3 which is what I think is being said above. Exactly... any 1 single win in this series makes the number change to 2 and then the 1 from the win and the 1 from the loss adds up to 2 and we win. It's elementary. 🧐

It's 2 unless it's 3.
