Weekly MLB baseball power ranking using the Bradley-Terry model for statistical analysis of pairwise comparisons.
Team strength scores after June 5 will be multiplied by 100. Thus, a strength score of 0.52 before June 5 is equivalent to a strength score of 52 after June 5.

The rankings in this blog give the best statistical estimate of each team’s strength by applying the Bradley-Terry generalized linear model for paired comparisons. The model is a regression approach, which means that it minimizes the occurrence of unexpected outcomes. It accounts for schedule difficulty on an individual game bases, as opposed to some overall measure of opponent ability, and recognizes home-field advantage to get the best estimate of true team strength based on the seasons results.
