AL Pythagorean report - week 2

The second week of the season featured a much better performance by the Red Sox than the first, with fairly consistent offense and several very well pitched games. The bullpen was outstanding as well.

So far, the Toronto Blue Jays have been the best team in the AL in terms of outscoring their opponents. Kansas City and New York have come by their records the old-fashioned way - they've earned them...

Projections, based on what's happened so far:



Top 5 projections (using current winning %)
Minnesota10854

Baltimore10854

Chicago10854

Toronto10062

Boston9567


This isn't the top 5 Pythagorean winning percentage teams, but the top 5 final records assuming that everyone plays the remainder of their games at the Pythagorean winning percentage that they've exhibited so far.



Top 5 projections (starting with today's record, using Pythagorean winning %)
Toronto10854

Minnesota9963

Detroit9666

Boston9666

Baltimore9666


It should go without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that we're dealing with ridiculously small sample sizes here, as well as unbalanced competition...
