List below you will find McCabe Magazine's first Power Ranking installment for season 19. The power rankings are an average of the following team statistics; Winning percentage, OPS, ERA and Fielding Percentage. As you can see the computers didn't give any love to the 12th ranked Kansas City Royals (24-10) and lots of TLC to number one ranked St. Louis Cardinals (21-13). The Royals have the best record in baseball, a three (3) game lead over the Cardinals in the south division, and number one in the majors with a .912 team OPS. However, the nerds in the sabermetric lab point to the Royals team pitching 5.32 ERA (29 ranked) and .980 fielding (22 rank) as to why the they are not in the top 10. I was told by a reliable source that the computer they are using is an outdated refurbished BCS computer donated to McCabe by the NCAA. The nerds did not confirm nor deny this information.
You will also note that all four National League West teams made our rankings and the National League North was the only division not to have a team in the top 15.
