We are, at present, two-thirds of the way through the group stage of the tournament, which leaves each team 30 more games to try and secure their place in the postseason. After five more weeks of games, half of the tournament field will be eliminated (though possibly to play in a double-elimination consolation tournament; we'll see).
At this point, anywhere from 37 to 43 wins is enough to give you first place in a group and home field advantage through the first three rounds of the playoffs. 32 wins guarantees you an advancement to the postseason, with only one group where 31 wins isn't enough and a few groups that have teams with sub-.500 records slated to make it in if the tournament ended today.
