The OPSERA is a statistic RealGM Executive Editor Chris Reina created in order to objectively rank teams by how well they hit (OPS) and pitch (ERA).

In order to determine the OPSERA rating for each, we take their OPS, multiply that number by 10 to move the decimal point over one place to the right and then subtract their ERA from that number. 

All Statistics are through Wednesday, September 2nd. August 18th rankings are in parentheses.


1. (1) St. Louis – 4.48
The Cardinals are on track to win 100 games and remain baseball\'s best despite significant injury woes and pressure from the Pirates.


2. (11) Toronto – 4.12
The Blue Jays have been red-hot since the trade deadline and have broken into the top five for the first time all year.


3. (2) Los Angeles Dodgers – 4.41
The Dodgers get no-hit, then swept and go on to win five in row, only to be no-hit again before sweeping the Giants.


4. (3) Pittsburgh – 4.07
The Pirates have cooled slightly and are six games back of the Cardinals. They remain 4.5 games ahead of the Cubs for the first Wild Card spot.
