Magic # is exact and schedule-aware — the wins (or closest-rival losses) that guarantee the spot, tiebreakers included. The same numbers sit on the Division Standings page.
Strength of schedule plays out each remaining game weighted by both clubs' scoring and the schedule they have faced; coin flip gives every game an even chance. Each run then plays the bracket its own season set up — series lengths, home games and byes included. Percentages are simulated, never a clinch.
