Current Standings      Interactive Chart      Methodology

In baseball, as with most things in life, having money is a considerable advantage. Teams with more money tend to win more, as well they should. In the standings posted here (updated daily), current MLB records are readjusted based on a "salary-adjusted handicap." A team's salary-adjusted wins and losses are based not on its "real" record, but rather its expected winning percentage given its total salary.
