Note: I was going to make an adjustment to the formula in the area of fielding; however, it cause several changes and I decided I have been working with this formula all season. So, any changes will be instituted next season for the sake of consistency.

I don't know what happened to the fonts on this posting and I can't get them to change.

Poll Notes

Since the two teams leading their respective leagues are the same teams that played in last season's World Series, I decide to make the polls simple, Las Vegas and Tampa Bay versus everyone else.
