Rays beat the Yanks 4-0
Magic Number 2 for home field through ALCS
I think that would also clinch home field for the entire playoffs
Looks like magic number is 3 for home field overall. We are currently up on LA by 2 games with 5 to play. LA's max win total is 106, so 3 wins get us to that number and we hold the tiebreaker over LA.
Since we didn't play LA in regular season, tiebreaker is better divisional record. LA has already lost 25 games to NL west teams. We have lost 19 to AL west teams, so then going 5-0 would keep them at 25 losses, us going 3-2 would have us at 21 losses. So we have tiebreaker.
