Arizona Diamondbacks' magic number, clinching scenarios for 2024 MLB playoffs

How can the Arizona Diamondbacks clinch a spot in the 2024 MLB playoffs?

The team has several avenues available to take on the road to the MLB postseason in the final few games of the regular season.

The DBacks' magic number sits at 3, meaning that Arizona needs that combined number of Diamondbacks wins as well as losses by their closest competitor to make the 2024 postseason.

Arizona currently sits at 88-71 on the season, in third place in the National League wild-card race (three wild-card teams make the playoffs).
