Stars_Rangers_82

The Rangers are looking very good, with little to no complaints I have about them. I wanted to share how good they've been so far and how they compare to the other 39 teams that have started the season out 6-0 or better.

Here's the pitching comparisons....

The total win-loss of the teams is 3389-2639, which is a winning percentage of 56.22%, and in today's schedule would turn out to be a 91-71 record. Among these 39 teams are 8 World Series Champions, 2 Word Series Losers, 5 other teams that made the playoffs, and 8 teams that missed the playoffs but were 2nd in their division.

What does all of this mean? It could mean everything, it could mean nothing. But it sure is fun to watch this team play and see if they can join those other 8 World Series Champion teams.
