Pythagorean Theorem Rankings - Week 7

These are the Pythagorean Theorem Rankings for MLB at the end of May 12, 2008 using 1.86 instead of 2 for the exponent (see this article).
  1. Chicago Cubs    .632
  2. Atlanta Braves    .624
  3. Oakland Athletics    .617
  4. Arizona Diamondbacks    .609
  5. Boston Red Sox    .576
  6. Cleveland Indians    .572
  7. St. Louis Cardinals    .565
  8. Chicago White Sox    .559
  9. Houston Astros    .550
  10. Tampa Bay Rays    .546
  11. Los Angeles Dodgers    .545
  12. New York Mets    .539
  13. Florida Marlins    .538
  14. Philadelphia Phillies    .526
  15. New York Yankees    .508
  16. Los Angeles Angels    .500
  17. Minnesota Twins    .485
  18. Toronto Blue Jays    .484
  19. Baltimore Orioles    .468
  20. Pittsburgh Pirates    .458
  21. Milwaukee Brewers    .442
  22. Seattle Mariners    .435
  23. Detroit Tigers    .431
  24. Texas Rangers    .424
  25. Cincinnati Reds    .424
  26. Colorado Rockies    .413
  27. Kansas City Royals    .406
  28. Washington Nationals    .378
  29. San Francisco Giants    .369
  30. San Diego Padres    .363
The top two "hard luck" teams who would have more wins by the Pythagorean Theorem than in real life are the Braves (22-13 instead of 18-17, 4 wins) and the Indians (21-15 instead of 18-18, 3 wins). The top two "lucky" teams are the Angels who would be 20-20 (instead of 22-17, 3 losses) and the Marlins who would be 20-17 (instead of 23-14, 3 losses).
