Uhhh no. This stat needs a serious adjustment. These rankings are hideous. Mets at 28??? Astros at 12? The crappy Yankees at 7??? Cardinals at 2???

I know right! The Cardinals should definitely be #1. They be teh champs, have been without one of their best starters, one of the best hitters in the game last year has been injured, AND the guy with the 2nd highest OPS this year has been injured. Totally underranked, such crap. :curse:

And the Yankees and Astros ranking is fine....yeah, the Astros aren't likely to keep it up, but they have played like a top 15 team so far this season.

Stop being a slave to W-L records like it seems you are based on your awesome analysis of why these rankings are horrible. For the record, the way these rankings are made are silly, but so is your criticism.
