When I looked at the standings last round, everything seemed clear: every team with a winning record through 66 games would advance to the postseason, and some .500 and below teams would advance in groups where the middle was more balanced. At present, a 36-33 record is the mark to achieve to for sure be in a postseason slot with 21 games to go; in some groups 35-34 isn't enough to make it (one group has a five way tie for the final spot at 34-35), while other groups have 32-37 teams that would advance. Meanwhile, the 1927 New York Yankees became the first team in the tournament to the 50 win plateau, though the next closest team in the whole tournament is just two games back of that mark.
