THT Dartboard: May 10, 2008

I’ve been in San Francisco all weekend for a conference and thus have been unable to get around to writing up a full dartboard so I am posting it here as a side post so that you can at least have reference to the current week’s ratings.

Dartboard

Welcome to The Hardball Times Dartboard, our weekly attempt to rank all the teams in baseball. The Dartboard Factor is how many wins a team would be expected to have at the end of the season if it played a neutral schedule. Next to that, you’ll find the Dartboard Factor from the previous week. An explanation of our method can be found here.
