Power Rankings

Couple of notes before the list. I changed about half the formulas. The changes were designed to spread the point range out further. This should make it more entertaining and even more inaccurate than before. Ironically, in attempting to create a large spread for the scores, I had some of the closest scores since started...go figure. Still, 700 is the highest possible and 0 the lowest.

Secondly, for the first time ever, I created a chart that combines both AL and NL teams. This had the effect of actually rearranging the order of some teams. For example, in the usual NL St Louis is slightly ahead of Toledo; however, in the combined listing, Toledo moved slightly ahead of St Louis. I've always said that the league scores were not directly comparable, here's the proof!

These Rankings are thru Game 46. Again, since it's early, things will move significantly, especially with the new formulas. Enjoy!
