I wanted to ask this question, but got to the chat a bit late. Can someone explain exactly how the expected win/loss (X-W/L) is computed on the standings page at MLB.com?
It’s supposedly based on runs scored and runs allowed. But SF has scored more runs (384}, than SD (365) and they have allowed fewer (285 to 288), and have a better differential (99 to 77). And yet the Giant’s expected record is 1 run worse than actual, and the Padre’s is 2 runs better than actual.
Unless there are other factors used in the computation, it makes no sense at all, if it is based on only what they say it is.
White Sox: go get Adam Frazier!

Just a guess but maybe it factors in their opponents too?
Cards fan thinking Nolan Gorman alone would get them Shane Bieber is hilarious.
