Only two NL teams are currently in the top 10. Even Baltimore and Texas made it ahead of St. Louis: Baltimore is over .500 in the toughest division and Texas is at .500 in the second-toughest division. Today Cleveland is also ranked above St. Louis, but the numerical ratings are only 14-hundredths of one percent different and I think the system is just reacting to the AL's dominance by ranking the Indians' schedule that much more difficult. The Cardinals are pretty clearly superior to Cleveland.
Even though Atlanta has been in the top five teams in the National League since the beginning of the week with a series win against the Angels in California, we'll see how long that lasts. The Braves have a 27th-best ranking over the last 10 games (only three wins) and are on track to win only 84 games, according to Baseball Playoffs Now's final record prediction algorithms.
