12/20>13/22
I'm a day behind. Yesterday we had one less loss and they had one more win. Anyway, I've seen in the past where both teams have played the same number of games but the team with one less loss is % points ahead in the standings of the team with one more win....am I nuts?

Because losses are more magnified than wins in the beginning of the season. Simple calculation. Divide wins by games played. We are 12 wins 8 losses. That gives us 20 games played. 12 divide by 20 is .600. Let's say someone is 13 wins 9 losses. Would you think the 13 win should be pct higher? 13 wins plus 9 losses equals 22 games played. 13 divided by 22 is .591 so therefore they would be in 2nd place.

I had to read your explanation about 10 times and pull out the calculator but...I got it! Thanks.

That was a wasted opportunity. Want to beat up on the Reds early so they don't start thinking they can win a game.
