Riding the Pine Team Rankings

Disclaimer
Here are the new and updated Baseball Rankings. Instead of just taking the record, pythagorean record, and farm system, I've given each part a weighed score:
- The Record accounts for half of the score. Since the standings are based of record, I thought it deserved more weight than the other parts.
- The Pythagorean Record is based off of Bill James theory that you can somewhat predict a team by runs scored and runs allowed. The Pythagorean Records accounts for a third of the score.
- The Farm System is worth a sixth of the scoring, since it will impact the team, but maybe not now.
- The Standard Deviation is 3 wins.

All stats and records are prior to games on Wednesday. I'm going to start putting each teams score up; max score is 90 points.

Rankings


Breakdown
The playoff teams based off record:
NL East - Mets
NL Central - Cubs
NL West - Diamondbacks
NL Wild Card - Brewers

AL East - Rays
AL Central - White Sox
AL West - Angels
AL Wild Card - Red Sox

The playoff teams based off run differential:
NL East - Phillies
NL Central - Cubs
NL West - Diamondbacks
NL Wild Card - Mets

AL East - Red Sox
AL Central - White Sox
AL West - Athletics
AL Wild Card - Angels

As of right now, the Cardinals are missing the playoffs in both actual record and Pythagorean record. The last 2 games helped their run differential, but not enough to have both records be equal. Maybe another big night from the offense can knock off another loss from the run differential.

[To figure the pythagorean record, ask me in the comments or use this formula:
(RS^2)/(RS^2 + RA^2)]

I'll be back next Tuesday with the updated rankings.
