More standings:
In the AL West, The Mariners have had a good week, winning 4 of 5, and moving into 1st, 3 games over .500. The defending champ Rangers continue to tread water, are still at .500 and are 1 1/2 back of the Mariners. The A's went 3-4 this week despite splitting with the Yankees , and even losing a game to .500, they've moved into 3rd at 6 games under, 3 behind Texas and 4 1/2 behind Seattle. The Angels continue to absolutely bury the greatness of Mike Trout, who's off to another great season. They've lost 8 of 9 now, are 7 games under, 1/2 game behind the A's, 3 1/2 back of the Rangers and 5 games out of 1st.. The Astros finally won last night after losing 5 in a row, and have lost 8 out of 10. They have last place all to themselves, are 11 games under, 2 back of Anaheim, 2 1/2 back of the A's, 5 1/2 back of Texas and 7 games out of 1st. Kinda makes the Yanks opening series 4 game sweep in Houston seem a lot less impressive than we thought at the time, hunh? Baseball Reference has a rudimentary ranking system for the teams of MLB called Simple Rating System, or SRS for short. It measures not just the record, but the record of the teams a team defeated and the teams they lost to. The main reason there are 5 teams in the AL and 5 more in the NL ranked above the Yanks, despite the Yanks being tied for the 3rd best record in MLB is that 5 of the wins came against the Astros, who are ranked 25th in MLB.
