Anyway, below you will find my version of the standings ("PWR" is the team's relative rating):
What I also thought would be interesting was to take the method a step further to determine the probability each team has of advancing through the playoffs and ultimately winning the World Series. As popular consensus suggests, a series of Phillies v. Yankees or Phillies v. Red Sox is the most likely matchup, with the Phillies having the best probablility of making it at 53% (roughly 1-1 odds). However, the Yankees at the moment seem to have a slight edge to win it all, with a 32% probability compared to the Phillies 29%. For simplicity (and statistical confidence) sake, they are both likely considered 2-1 odds to win it, which I believe aligns with the betting world.
