Los Angeles Dodgers First-Place Clinch Scenario

Los Angeles's traditional magic number (relative to second-place San Francisco) is 30 + 111 - 32 + 1 = 110.
Los Angeles's first-place clinch number is 106.
Los Angeles must win 106 more games (138 total) to clinch first place.

If Los Angeles wins 106 more games, their final win total will be at least 138.
The table below shows the best case scenario for each of the other teams if Los Angeles wins 106 of their remaining 111 games and loses the other 5.
For each team, the table shows the current record (number of wins (W) and losses (L)) and the number of games that team has
left to play (GL) in the regular season. Taking the schedule of games left to play into account, the 'Losses to Los Angeles' column gives the
minimum number of games that each team will lose to Los Angeles if Los Angeles wins 106 more games. Assuming that a team wins all of its remaining games except for
the games it loses to LADodgers, the resulting maximum number of wins is shown in the 'Maximum W' column.

Team             W	L	GL	Losses to Los Angeles	Maximum W
Arizona          26	25	111	       6 - 5 = 1	136
San Diego        28	21	113	      13 - 5 = 8	133
San Francisco    30	21	111	      13 - 5 = 8	133
Colorado         9	42	111	      10 - 5 = 5	115

The table above shows that if Los Angeles wins 106 more games (138 total), then they will finish the season in first place in the division.

To see that Los Angeles's first-place clinch number cannot be less than 106, consider the following scenario in which Los Angeles wins 105 more games (137 total) but does not finish in first place:

Team             W	L	PCT	GB
Arizona          137	25	0.846	0.00
Los Angeles      137	25	0.846	0.00
Colorado         62	100	0.383	75.00
San Diego        52	110	0.321	85.00
San Francisco    41	121	0.253	96.00
