Win Div – The probability the team wins their division
Clinch Bye – The probability that the team wins their division and is one of the top two seeds in their league, thus earning a Wild Card Series bye
Clinch Wild Card – The probability the team qualifies for the playoffs through a Wild Card berth
Make Playoffs – The sum of Win Div + Clinch Wild Card, indicating the probability that the team qualifies for the playoff in any capacity
Make LDS (Postseason section) – The probability the team wins the Wild Card Series or earns a bye.
