MLB Season Units Won/Lost by Team

[Tanko]

I like to track a teams performance in terms of units W/L throughout the season. I look for trends to see if they are heading one way or the other. A team trending up is doing much better than they were expected to.

Here are the EOY charts for each team, in alphabetical order.
The flat lines in the middle are all-star break.

Chart1:
> Baltimore was just steadily racking up the units all season. They outperformed from day 1.
> Chicago White Sox sucked the entire year.
> Atlanta the best team in MLB ended up around +5 units because the odds on games expected them to be good all year.

Chart 2:
> KC was bad until the last few weeks. Maybe their minor league players being called up show there's a future.

Chart 3:
> Similar to KC, SD only showed up at the end.

There is a lot more that can be read into this data but I always find it interesting how teams do over the entire season.

Interesting chart. The more data we have the better to help make informed decisions. Thanks Tanko!

Thanks Bobby.
Not a lot of people are data crunchers and this won't interest them but, on MLB I'm all about the stats to find and edge.

Tank you remember that stat several weeks ago where Baltimore led the league in blown saves

Not sure if they still finished first but that is amazing when you think about how many more wins they could have had

They'd probably have 110 wins if their BP was better.
Could be their Achilles' heel in playoffs.
