    I think he really believes that somehow talking about it relentlessly will create a form of credibility…when in reality he’s just a troll on the interwebs with absolutely nothing better to do. @Stradling can we have this as a pinned topic…on the 14th page?

    Yes I’m calling mommy clearly. Makes total sense that you feel like defending your idiotic takes to anyone who will listen. I bet if you put as much thought into your tiers as you do your trolling they might actually…nope never mind. Still a dumbass.

    There's math but there's also gibberish built upon the subjective analysis of a random dude on the internet -- it's about as scientific and analytical as an ESPN power ranking.  
    If you wanted to create a tier list based on purely on math and focusing on wins and who has played who then you may as well start by using RPI as the the baseline -- RPI basic formula being, 25% team winning percentage, 50% opponents' average winning percentage, and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage.
    Using RPI and going for 6 tiers you'd get the following.
    Tier 1: Milwaukee .577, Baltimore .574 , Cleveland .568, NYM .556, and Boston .547.
    Tier 2: Seattle .535, Cinci .526, Pittsburgh.523, LAD .521, NYY .517.
    Tier 3: Atlanta .516, Philly .510, Minnesota .503, Oakland .499, Toronto .498
    Tier 4: KC .497, CHC .494, SDP .494, Detroit .488, LAA .483
    Tier 5: Texas .479, STL .477, TBR .475, Washington .473, SFG .473
    Tier 6: Arizona .463, Houston .455, Miami .441, Colorado .426, CWS .415
    So how does Oakland end up in Tier 3 while the D-Backs (You didn't even include them in yours), end up in Tier 6?  It's called the unbalanced schedule.  Even using something that attempts to incorporate real math/analysis and not "trust me bro" math it's pointless until everyone in MLB has played more than 5 or 6 of the 30 teams in MLB.  

    Using RPI, 12 of the Angels 25 games (48%) have come against TIER 1 teams and 15 of their 25 games (60%) have come against the top 2 tiers .vs the 3 games they have played against the Marlins. Considering how many winnable games they have lost some might see that as a reason to believe they could do better... but reality is we don't know if they will find ways to lose against bad teams too.  It's just too early. 
    Props for making an effort to substantiate your rankings but you may want to ease up on BS a bit.
