Ok, the magic number is
4.
So given the info you shared, with both teams having 5 games remaining, I figure the Twins lose one.
So if the Tigers go 3-2 and the Twins lose one game, we reach our magic number (3 Tiger wins plus 1 Twin loss =
4). We win the division because there is no tie breaker.
I think it's possible we can hold them off.
