RECAP

American League

Boston Red Sox: 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 2, 3, 3, 4 = 36/60

Cleveland Indians: 2, 5, 4, 5, 1, 3, 1, 2, 5, 5, 5, 5 = 43/60

Houston Astros: 4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 2, 5, 1, 4, 2, 2, 2 = 39/60

New York Yankees: 5, 1, 3, 3, 2, 5, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3 = 40/60

Minnesota Twins: 1, 3, 2, 1, 5, 1, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1 = 24/60

 

National League

Arizona Diamondbacks: 2, 5, 2, 1, 1, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 2 = 33/55

Chicago Cubs: 5, 4, 3, 3, 4, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 5 = 32/55

Colorado Rockies: 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, 2, 5, 3, 1, 1, 1 = 28/55

Los Angeles Dodgers: 4, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 4, 5, 4 = 35/55

Washington Nationals: 1, 2, 5, 5, 3, 5, 1, 4, 5, 3, 3 = 37/55

 

BREAKDOWN: According to the points system, the Cleveland Indians are the most complete team in the American League (43/60) with the New York Yankees (40/60) and Houston Astros (39/60) slightly behind them. The Red Sox aren’t far behind with a total score of 36/60. However, the Twins seem totally overmatched with a very low score of 24/60. Coming out on the other side, the Washington Nationals (37/55) just outmatched the Los Angeles Dodgers (35/55) for the most complete and well-rounded team in the National League. The Diamondbacks (33/55) and Cubs (32/55) are super close for third and fourth place but Arizona outmatched Chicago by 1 point. The Rockies aren’t a bad team but their pitching was their ultimate downfall on this points system and will most likely be their downfall in the 2017 playoffs. If my points system has any indication on whom the most balanced team in the MLB postseason is and if the two “most balanced” teams end up making the World Series, we will be seeing the Cleveland Indians take on the Washington Nationals for the championship.
