My sermon for today takes its text from the Book of Braves14, Comment 2384135:
I wasn’t impressed at all with the .500 Cardinals in the Central and the Braves seemed to be a vastly superior team in both series we played them. And the Braves seemed pretty even with the Brewers in that series. I wonder if the NL East records are partially because the teams are beating up on each other in division play.
The NL West is obviously the best division by far in the NL.
So the season is now far enough along to pull out my favorite team ranking toy: the Bradley-Terry Ratings.
