Mid-season look at baseball playoff probabilities

One of my first posts on this blog was about Sports Club Stats because it is easily my favorite sports web site, providing practical, nonobvious information and sparing the celebrity gossip.

Now that we are a little over half way through the baseball season (and bored out of our minds waiting for football season to start), I thought it would be worth taking a look at the current playoff probabilities. Keeping in mind that that these probabilities can change by as much as 10% on any given day, here is where the teams currently stand:

Dodgers 93.4
Red Sox 79.6
Yankees 63.6
Angels 62.0
Phillies 72.9
Rays 28.8
Giants 38.5
Tigers 46.7
Rangers 31.7
Rockies 33.5
Cardinals 43.2
Mariners 23.2
White Sox 31.5
Cubs 25.2
Twins 27.1
Brewers 25.4
Astros 18.8
Marlins 16.8
Braves 14.3
Blue Jays 4.0
Mets 8.2
Reds 7.4
Pirates 1.9
Orioles 0.5
D-Backs 0.4
Athletics 0.6
Royals 0.5
Padres 0.1
Indians 0.2
Nationals 0.0
