So like last year, I went through everyone's schedule to see who had the toughest and easiest schedules for the previous season. My ranking system is very simple and crude in which I ordered the teams from 1 to 16 based on their final standings (not playoff finish) and then added up the numbers associated with each team on the schedule. For example, Yankees started with 136 (the number of 1-16 added together since we play everyone once) followed by 3 (TB), 14 (MON), 15 (DET), 5 (NYM), 7 (STL), and 12 (COL). Those are the six teams he played twice. That totaled 192. Hopefully, that makes sense to everyone. So with all that being said, here is the strength of schedule rankings from last year.
1. Rockies 170
2. Cardinals 173
3. Expos 177
4. Braves 178
5. Tigers 182
6. Nationals 183
7. Marlins (PIT) 184
8. Royals 188
TIE Cubs 188
10. Red Sox (CIN) 190
11. Phillies 191
12. Yankees 192
13. Mets 197
TIE Rays 197
15. Angels 201
TIE Indians 201
Just some interesting info as we get ready for this season.
