Pyth-Rising Sun is Flipped!

If the game were played on paper, rather than on the field, the Okinawa Shisa would be leading the Rising Sun Division, with Toyama right behind. That’s what the Pythagorean version of the game says, anyway. Taking runs scored and runs allowed, then mushing them into something called “math,” one sees that the dastardly Eva Empire should be running in third played, 4 games back.
Okinawa: 48-35, -
Toyama: 46-38, 2.5 GB
Shin Seiki: 43-38, 4 GB
Neo-Tokyo: 27-56, 21 GB
It gets even more interesting when the observer notes that Okinawa has played only 38 home games to date, versus 43 for each Shin Seiki and Toyama.
The bottom line?
It’s going to be a tight run to the finish line in what is arguably the best division in baseball.
