There must be something that I don't understand. Why is Philadelphia placed higher than Cleveland? Cleveland has more wins and fewer runs allowed? How is a team's position calculated?

Hello Wraith... I believe it is the same as in the real life standings...Cleveland here does have 1 more win, but they also have 1 more loss...which once you break down the percentage winning...puts them at just a shade under the Phil team...basically, they have played 2 more games than Phil, and in those 2 games, they only played .500 ball 1 W 1 L....the win perc. is how the standings are computed.

So, in the real world, the PCT isn't truncated? Philadelphia is looked at as having a PCT of .5384615 and Cleveland is looked at as having a PCT of .537931? I just figured they were both cut at 3 decimal places after rounding.

I believe it is truncated, as far as putting it in typed standings, etc...but they will still look, in the event of a "tie"..first, to see the actual %..then, I believe, would be head-to-head, and then maybe run differential, or something, if they still were tied.

KG has it correct. The paper only lists out three places, but the actual calculations are not truncated. Therefore, Philadelphia would be listed above Cleveland.
