Brewers Rank 4th in RPI

by nekpinder on Jun 3, 2008 5:45 PM CDT Comment 4 comments

I know it has been mentioned on here that the Brewers have played a tougher schedule then most of their division counterparts. Here Max Wasserman of Cornell wrote an interesting article for The Big Lead about strength of schedule and RPI as it relates to the baseball season. The uneven scheduling as presented has a greater then negligible impact on playoff races that like last year were decided by an extra play in game.

At the end of the article he lists this years numbers and the Brewers at this point are ranked fourth.

cubs #2?

I thought the cubs had a squishy schedule so far. It looks like their high “RPI” is buoyed by their win %, as their strength of schedule is under .500. According to SOS in this article, we’re .001 behind the Pirates and .007 behind the Rays for toughest schedule so far in all of MLB.

Fantastic

Brewers just need to keep doing what they’re doing to lock down the number 1 seed in the tournament.

Don't try to do too much with it. Just take the ball the other way.

Or at least a bowl berth.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
