MLB Team Rankings – Week 16
Posted: July 11, 2011 Filed under: Rankings Leave a comment »Weekly rankings based on a 3rd order winning percentage calculation, which has 3 steps:
1: Convert offense and pitching statistics (number of singles, home runs, hits allowed, etc.) into expected runs scored or allowed.
2: Convert that to a winning percentage
3: Adjust for quality of opponents. (I weight the winning percentages so that there are exactly 15*162, or 2,430 calculated wins)
