Kansas City's E-number is up.

Kansas City's E-number (elimination number)for the wild card spot is up.

As I type this, no other team has zero'd out quite yet.

The Cub's E-number is 18.

Quote from website...

E# indicates the Elimination Number, which is the combined number of wins (by the first place team) and losses (by the trailing team) that will eliminate the trailing team from winning the Wild Card. The Elimination Number for a particular team is determined by adding their number of losses to the number of wins for the team leading the Wild Card, and subtracting that total from 163. The Elimination Number for the second place team is the "Magic Number" for the first place team. "E" indicates that the team has been eliminated from winning the Wild Card.
