2009 MLB Pythagorean


Just for fun here is the 2009 MLB Pythagorean. It is more difficult to construct than NFL/NCAAFB. The problem is have a standard amount of games each team plays. For example each team usually plays 162 games. But, any rain-outs or other postponed games not made up (uncommon) can leave teams a game short (161 or less). Then you have the post season play-off's and of course the World Series. So for this model I used a standard of 162, and post season is not included. These are how the teams should finish the regular season, and Division/Series predicted winner's are based off final ratings.
