2006 World Baseball Classic

Power Ratings

RATINGS PHILOSOPHY:

Three factors go into these ratings: First and foremost, WINNING or Win-Loss Record (W-L).

Second, is strength of schedule (SOS), measured by both Win Pct. and Point Ratio.

Third, is Run Ratio or Power Rating--Scoring the most runs while allowing the opposition as few as possible. Historically, teams that win by larger margins against their opponents, win more games than teams that win by smaller margins.

System PCT (Sys.Pct.)-A team's overall rating compared to the hypothetical 'average' team (.500).

Updated 03/21/2006
