Using Justin’s stats, here’s yet another entry into the world of power rankings, simply adding up each team’s runs above average in three categories: offense, pitching, and fielding.

Chicago fans are having a great year. If the top four teams from each league made the playoffs, we’d have the Cubs vs. Braves and Dodgers vs. Phillies in the NL, with the White Sox vs. Blue Jays, and Red Sox vs. Rays in the AL.
Yes, that’s right, the Blue Jays. JP Ricciardi’s definitely underrated as a GM — hmm, that sounds like a future article.
Anything else that sticks out?
