121

Suggestion to Tampa Bay Devil Rays fans: you should be enjoying every last bit of this. Whether your team goes on a 45 game losing streak right now and finishes 38 games out or they go on a 45 game winning streak and sweep through the playoffs to their first World Series title, you should enjoy every second.

You should track the team's magic number. I did the first one for you here. It's at 121. Now you keep track.

Here's a handly link to the standings on mlb.com. Just make sure you select the ELIM # option and the number will show up in the standings. The ELIM # for the second place team is your magic number. The magic number is the total number of your team's wins and that teams losses needed to clinch the division win.*

Nobody ever knows how long this will last. It's your first time. So get as much enjoyment out of it as you can.

*It's their first time. They may never have paid attention to such things in the past.
