Good evening everyone. I wanted to see where everyone was stacking up so I will start making a Power Ranking that I hope to update weekly!
With a clean slate coming into this season I decided to create my initial Power Ranking I would use three simple statistics to base teams on a scale from 3-90 (Closer to 3 is better, closer to 90 is worse). Moving forward I will just go week by week to not need to use the point system anymore.
The three criteria were: W% based on ESPN, Overall Record and Strength of Schedule which I created from the other two variables.
I will be posting the ranking, team name, then the points they scored on the scale. Tiebreakers were determined by the strength of schedule.
Without further ado, I bring you the inaugural Power Rankings!
30. San Diego Padres (87)
29. Minnesota Twins (79)
28. Atlanta Braves (77)
27. Texas Rangers (76)
26. Boston Red Sox (73)
25. Cincinnati Reds (72)
24. Cleveland Indians (70)
23. Milwaukee Brewers (69)
22. Seattle Mariners (64)
21. Los Angeles Dodgers (53)
20. Chicago White Sox (51)
19. Philadelphia Phillies (47)
18. New York Yankees (42)
17. Kansas City Royals (41)
16. New York Mets (40)
15. Arizona Diamondbacks (39)
14. Toronto Blue Jays (35)
13. Tampa Bay Rays (32)
12. San Francisco Giants (32)
11. Chicago Cubs (30)
10. Miami Marlins (29)
9. Washington Nationals (28)
8. Pittsburgh Pirates (27)
7. St. Louis Cardinals (26)
6. Oakland Athletics (25)
5. Los Angeles Angels (21)
4. Houston Astros (19)
3. Baltimore Orioles (19)
2. Detroit Tigers (14)
1. Colorado Rockies (14)
GOTW AL: Detroit Tigers (2) vs Los Angeles Angels (5)
GOTW NL: Pittsburgh Pirates (8) vs Chicago Cubs (11)
With that, let the hatred of my rankings begin!
