MLB Power Ratings

 
Last updated: Monday, November 2, 2015 - final ratings

Welcome to my MLB power ratings!  I will be updating this page on Mondays and
Fridays.  These ratings are based on a mathematical formula which involving
several factors, including won-lost record, schedule strength, and margin of
victory in games.  Results of recent games are weighed with slightly more
emphasis than games played earlier in the season.  Enjoy!
