The Baseball Playoffs are almost upon us, so it is time for Baseball Power Ratings. Here they are. We see, for example, the Braves have played .75 runs better than average due to being .27 runs better than average on offense and .48 runs better than average on defense. This ranks 4th in the majors. Colorado is the best hitter’s park, with 1.43 runs per team scored there per game (as compared to average hitter’s park.) The Reds are not as good as people think, having played the easiest schedule (.37 runs easier than average. The Pirates are beyond pathetic, worst on offense and worst on defense. We note that the best teams (Tampa and Yankees in regular season) may not be best in playoffs because in playoffs teams often use 3 starting pitchers while during regular season 5 starting pitchers are needed. Playoff predictions will be coming later.
