And while I expect Alex to provide a more comprehensive analysis, I did find this site where someone did the math (through 2008) which puts the number at 345,950.

Add ~2,430 regular season games per year (30 teams x 162 games per year / 2) x 3 years = 7,290 games.

Then using an assumption of an average of four games per divisional playoff, and 5.5 games per league championship and World Series (I am too lazy to look up the actuals), that is an additional 33 games per season ((4 x 4 divisional) + (2 x 5.5 league) + 5.5 then round up the half game) x 3 =~100 additional games.

Then, there have been 935 games played this season so far, which brings the count up to 345,275.

So the odds are closer to 15,694:1
