2005 Final Regular Season Rankings

The season has come to an end and here are my final rankings. The American League has outperformed the National League, which has given an edge to AL teams that may have a worse record than some NL clubs. San Diego is even more undeserving of a playoff birth than their record indicates because they have had the pleasure of beating NL West teams.
