WhatIfSports MLB Power Rankings
WhatIfSports.com utilizes its award-winning baseball simulation engine to present the most comprehensive and unbiased ranking possible of all 30 teams in baseball each Monday during the regular season.
To come up with the rankings, using only the teams' statistical performances to date this season, each team is simulated against every other team 100 times—50 at home and 50 at the opposing ballpark—so that all five pitchers in the current rotation start 10 times at each location.
(Note: This means if a pitcher who was in the rotation was recently put on the DL, he will not be included in the simulations. This is true of position players as well, but an injury to one position player will usually have a lesser impact on the week-to-week results.)
