MLB POWER RATINGS - PRO BASEBALL POWER RATINGS
MLB Power
Ratings are a numerical value of relative strength of teams based on a performance, changes
in personnel, coaching, schedule strength and current form. MLB power ratings are statistical and
historical and MLB power ratings do not take into account emotional factors of MLB players. MLB
power ratings are purely objective and a deadly weapon in any handicapper's
arsenal. No emotion or bias is involved. MLB power ratings must be updated weekly or they become skewed and
stale. Our baseball power ratings allows us to judge pretty accurately the relative strengths of teams in any
given matchup. MLB power ratings are an exceptional handicapping tool and should be utilized with many other
handicapping tools such as trend, statistical and fundamental analysis. Our aim is to obtain winners via our
MLB power ratings and using other handicapping methodology to confirm, adjust and predict a point spread to
compare against the Las Vegas odds.
To make point spread predictions for scheduled upcoming games, simply compare the
Home Team's MLB Power Rating to that of the Away Team's MLB Power Rating and add 3 points for the home team
advantage. Thus, for example, a HOME team with a rating of 5 playing a ROAD team with a rating 8 indicates
the home team is 3 points stronger. Then give the HOME team 3 for playing home and now the final point spread
has the home team favored by 6 points 8-5+3 = 8 over the VISITING team. We update our pro football power ratings after each weeks games.
