    538 Team Rankings

    Just something to look at. They have Atlanta rated the worst team this year.

    15 of the top 23 teams reside in the AL. That's rough. The NL was very bottom heavy this year with few good teams (with 3 being in the NL Central).

    One of the three best teams in MLB will be out after tonight—but the Pirates were a little better than the Cubs over the long-haul, which is why the play-in game is a joke.

    This is one reason why I wish unbalanced scheduling and divisions would disappear. Just line them up 1-15 in each league and have the top 5 get in the playoffs with 4 vs. 5 in a play in-game. This year, it would be the Mets vs. Dodgers.

    I bet the 93 Giants wish there was a play-in game.

    That would be more "fair" but fairness may take a back seat to profit maximization.

    And entertainment. Which I think is what it's all about. Life isn't fair so why should our sports?
