Non Covid Years 1998 - 2019 ...last 21 years
Take the leader in MLB in Run-Differential ( This Year Lad 1.6 ) and scroll down
to all the teams that are within 1 Run of the Lad Run Differential of 1.6
All World Series Champions have been within 1 run of the leader in MLB in Run Differential
Teams to eliminate this year that may make playoffs

Bos
Nyy
St Lou
Only 6 out of the last 21 WS Champions lead baseball in Run Differential
so Lad ...would be a fade this year ..to win WS ..but they can make it there....
Lad won the WS in Covid Year ...easily with the best run diff last year with a 2.3
but I'm not using the Covid year
Last Champ to lead baseball in run differential and won WS ...was 2016 Cubs ( barely in 7 games )
13 out of the last 21 years ... the leader in run differential did not even make the World Series ,,,,hmmmm....
I worked in records vs above .500 teams over the last 20 years
and along with above stats
So Far ...this what I lean toward
My WS Match-ups
Hou / Milw
Hou / Sf
Hou / Lad
Sf / Tb
Sf / Tor ...if Tor makes it
Lad / Tb
Lad / Tor ...if Tor makes it
Notice .... NO .....Cws / Atl ( -6 below .500 vs above .500 )/ St Lou / Bos / Sea / Nyy
