Interleague Info To Pass Along

[Home Wrecker]

I had some time on my hand today and decided to research Interleague records from 2001, 2002, 2003 and this year. Here is what I came up with. The 10 best and the 10 worst with one extra due to their 1-6 record this year. First numbers are the winning percentage, second records are the total record for all 4 years (this years brief games included) then the next record in () are this years records so far.


BEST:

1. Oakland 71.7%......43-17.....(6-0)***
2. Yankees 63.3%......38-22.....(4-2)
3. Atlanta 63.2%......36-21.....(2-4)
4. Seattle 61.7%......37-23.....(4-2)
5. Florida 59.6%......34-23.....(3-3)
6. Arizona 57.4%......31-23.....(2-4)
7. Angels 56.6%......34-26.....(2-4)
8. CHW 55.9%......33-26.....(3-2)
9. Dodgers 54.4%......31-26.....(3-2)
10. SanFran 54.3%......31-26.....(3-3)

WORST

1. Cinncy 28.8%......13-32......(0-6)***
2. Brewers 33.3%......14-28......(2-1)
3. Rockies 35.3%......18-33......(0-6)***
4. Pirates 35.5%......16-29......(0-6)***
5. Baltimor 36.6%......22-38......(2-4)
6. Clevelan 38.3%......23-37......(4-2)
7. Tigers 40%.........24-36......(4-2)
8. Tampa 41.6%.....25-35......(5-1)***
9. Royals 41.6%.....25-35.......(3-3)
10. Texas 41.6%.....25-35.......(4-2)
11. METS 45.6%.....26-31.......(1-5)***


I did this somewhat quickly so their may be some minor errors but for the most case it gives us a pretty good picture of what has taken place over the last 3 years with this year added. Teams have changed a lot though and the teams that they are playing have changed, but it was something that I wanted to know for myself and thought I would share.


After reading "gsp" thread that gave 4 things he watches when capping the Interleague games I started tracking the same variables last week.....from what I was able to gather, it WORKED EXCEPTIONALLY!!!! Especially, team that wins game (1) wins the series. If that team is the home team even better, and if the home team is the favorite in game 3 needing that game for the series......LOOK OUT!!!!!:toast:

here goes the yr to yr breakdown. Couldnt find home and away records.

Interleague games begin this week. The division matchups are: NL East plays AL West, NL Central plays AL East, and NL West plays AL Central.. These are new matchups for IL play - although there are some exceptions and the "traditional" rivalry games (Mets v. Yanks, etc.) For 2002 the matchups stopped being always East v. East, etc., and began to rotate. Last year, the NL East fattened up on the AL Central, for instance, while the NL Central played the AL West, and the NL West played the AL East.

We have records for IL play going back to 1999 included here. In the last four years the leagues are 2-2, AL "winning" in 2000 and 2001, NL in 1999 and last year, and they are probably just as evenly split overall in IL won-loss.

The Expos return to San Juan this week, v. the Angels & Rangers. They were 6-4 the first "homestand" there, sweeping the Mets, being swept by the Braves, winning 2 of 3 from the Reds. Overs/unders were 6-4.
