The Official Domination By The American League Has Begun

For the first time this season, the AL is not only incredibly strong in power rankings (63% to the NL's 37%), but also holds the top three divisions in Major League Baseball.  The National League Central can't even claim that its #2 out-of-division record is a good enough reason for it to be ranked higher than the fourth-best division, since it can't even come close to .500 in interleague play.  No AL division is fewer than 4 games above .500 in interleague games, and no NL division is fewer than 8 games below .500.  The NL West has lost a full two-thirds of its 69 matches against the AL.

Who's Afraid Of The National League?

The American League's dominance is borne out in wins and losses as well as statistical analysis. Below you'll find the AL beating up on the NL (approximately 60%-40% in overall ratings [including strength of schedule] and exactly 57.5%-42.5% on the field of play).

Four divisions also prove their overall ratings with the same ranking in pure wins and losses: the AL East, NL Central, AL West, and NL West are ranked #1, #2, #3, and #6, respectively, in both Baseball Playoffs Now's analysis and win-loss rankings. And even though the NL East is marginally better than the AL Central on the field, the Central gets a big boost in the rankings because much of their schedule is made up of other strong American League clubs. The NL East, on the other hand, has no such claim.

Finally, I'd like to point out exactly how far apart 57.5% (the current AL interleague record) is from its NL counterpart. Were the AL a single ballclub, it would be on pace to win over 93 games this season. The National League doesn't clear 69.

A thrilling series win in Boston propels St. Louis into the Baseball Playoffs Now top ten. It's not quite enough to knock Boston out of first place, but now only three-hundredths of a percentage point separate the Red Sox from the hungry Cubs:

NL Central Retakes Position As Second-Best Division

NL Central yesterday: Cincinnati lost to the Dodgers, Milwaukee beat Toronto, St. Louis fell to Kansas City, Houston gave up an extra-inning battle to Baltimore, the Cubs lost both the game and Zambrano to Tampa Bay, and Pittsburgh couldn't keep up with the White Sox.

All in all, it was a pretty bad day for the NL Central. Yet they retook division place #2, since yesterday's second-place AL West also hit bottom:

A Mets 10th-inning home run beat the Angels, Florida trampled Seattle, Arizona absolutely blew away Oakland by 10 runs, and Texas didn't win at home against Atlanta.

As much as the league rankings show an American League dominance, it's nice to know that the NL is giving licks as well as taking them.

American League Sucker-Punches NL, Grabs 64% Of Power Ratings

Ouch. The AL won 12 of 14 interleague games last night and severely damaged the senior circuit's rankings both in league measures and in the division rankings. The AL West pushed to #2, embarrassing the NL Central who only a few weeks ago was the undisputed leader of divisions. The NL East also felt the blow, reeling towards division rank #5 -- and the East was ranked #2 just twenty days past.

The latest interleague play records are:
AL - 59-42 (.584)
NL - 42-59 (.416) - equivalent to a team winning only 67 games in a regular season

Out-of-division standings:
1. AL East - 118-86 (.578)
2. NL Central - 126-105 (.545)
3. AL West - 98-97 (.503)
4. NL East - 104-106 (.495)
5. AL Central - 94-110 (.461)
6. NL West - 88-124 (.415)

As per the past week or two, the NL Central holds onto the no. 2 division standings in pure wins and losses and the NL East retains the no. 4 position. The reason that the Baseball Playoffs Now rankings stated at the top of this post switch the standings between #2 and #3, and #4 and #5, is that there is a very distinct difference in overall power rankings between AL teams and NL teams. The American League has simply done very well in interleague play, and the division rankings are a secondhand reflection of this record. By wins and losses alone, the NL is a small percentage behind the AL. But by strength of schedule and run differential, the AL increases its lead by a substantial amount.

Baseball Rankings Now: June 18, 2008 -- Crazy Good AL Holds 80% Of Top Ten

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.

Yankees on the Rise, Mets on the Fall

Here's another quick stats buffet for you. The Yankees are on the rise - finally - with the 2nd-best record in the past 10 games, and the Mets are falling with the 26th-best record over the last 10. In addition, the Yankees earned a positive run ratio (1.055 runs scored for every 1 run allowed) and the Mets, though they also have a positive run ratio at 1.011 : 1, fell barely under the average in that metric.
