Most Surprising Teams




A quick comparison of actual MLB teams winning percentage with their expected wins from Vegas to show which teams are the most and least surprising in a good and bad way. Vegas expected wins are calculated by adding up the chances of a team winning each game based on the Vegas money line. If a team had a 55% chance of winning a game according to Vegas they got 0.55 wins and 0.45 losses for that game. The teams at the top of this chart are way outperforming their win totals according to Vegas odds and the teams at the bottom of the chart are way underperforming. Teams in the middle are doing what they were expected to do.
