Strad says the O's are Tier 1

Unfortunately he opted out of his extension. But he was on the right track at 16-14 after the first 30 and before the rash of injuries struck.

A true Tier 1 classification would show above average performance in multiple metrics, not just overall W/L record. But you are on the right track!! Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks??? Well done Blarg!! edit. **The mods scan my profile for posts daily in order to make sure every post gets a "trolling emoji".

Now the TG is in bed, I can post. He should have told Trout that BEFORE he went up to bat.

But..the damage is done. Nice inning halos!

Good bit of situational hitting by Schaunny

Yup. As of today Cleveland has won 6 of 7 Series including taking 3 of 4 from the Red Sox last week.

It's presented content for discussion. Wanted to get a baseline (beta test) version out early for crowd sourcing help. This will be updated "officially" again after approx 60 games.

Understandable its alot of math. PM me for a tutorial.

That would be up to Chuckster.

Good Call. I added a metric/data point for +7/-7 wins in last 10. Seattle moved to Tier 3. Thanks for your input as performance in last 10 games should be a factor.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't diminish its merit.

Good input. I will review and share the thought process and get back to you. That 7-3 shows they are definitely trending up. You may be spot on.

FIFY. Get in the game or stand by the side and let the victors go by.

You are correct, this is early but establishes a starting point for discussion and crowd sourcing. I plan to officially update again at approx 60 games, but team Tier placement will be fluid through the next 40 games.

Angels are on probation ** in Tier 5. A sweep by Baltimore would surely drop them to Tier 6, but a series win over the O's would take them off probation for Tier 5

Good input. Royals moved to Tier 3. I had them at 12 wins until you pointed out they had 13. This moved them to 14.5 points and into Tier 3. Thanks for the crowed sourcing. Here is the thought process on the Royals. Basically they feasted on the White Sox and lost a series to Tier 5/6 Twins 13- 13 points 3 series wins - +3 points 2 series wins were vs. Tier 6 (White sox x 2) for 6-1 record = (-.5 points x 2) Lost a series vs Tier 5/6 Twins.= (-.5 points) Without the benefit of playing 2 series vs. White Sox their record would be 6-8
