Rockies can't even get a mention over a team not currently in a Wild Card spot? Damn.

Heck, Brewers are ones right behind Rockies too, not cards although that gap is just one game.

The Brewers and the Rockies were down a little further on the page, but screw those jerks, or something.

That said, the only percentage each had was for 'making the playoffs' ...

Brewers = 18%
Rockies = 74%

And I guess they were both listed as <1% to win the World Series, so technically that is a percentage too.

13% for the Nationals seems low IMO.

It's sorted by their power rating, which has to do with various head to head match ups.

Given that coin flip is 12.5% for division winners and 6.25% for wild cards, 9% for the Cubs seems about right.

I don't see the Reds on that list.

If they are not on the list the Cubbie chances of success are zero

They have a better record against the Cardinals than Reds.
