- New York Mets: Placed in Tier 2 with a 7.7% chance to win, a 91.6 win average, a franchise temperature of 57 degrees, and a pivotal ranking of fifth in weighted runs created plus (wRC+).
- Philadelphia Phillies: Ranked in Tier 2 with a 5.9% championship odds, a 90.3 win average, a franchise temperature of 99 degrees, and Bryce Harper’s BABIP dropping to .292.
- Atlanta Braves: Listed in Tier 2 with a 5.5% chance, an 89.8 win average, a franchise temperature of 116 degrees, and only one starting rotation on the injured list as the season began.
- Seattle Mariners: Positioned in Tier 2 with a 7.4% probability, an 89.6 win average, a franchise temperature of 47 degrees, and a historic zero pennants despite 50 seasons.
- New York Yankees: Assigned to Tier 2 with a 7.0% chance, an 89.3 win average, a franchise temperature of 157 degrees, and a potential four‑man elite rotation highlighted by Gerrit Cole’s limited spring performance.
- Detroit Tigers: Ranked in Tier 2 with a 6.2% championship probability, an 88.6 win average, a franchise temperature of 53 degrees, and a modest rise in playoff odds from 65.0% to 69.7%.
Why it matters: The tier rankings quantify each club’s championship odds, giving bettors, sponsors, and teams a clear hierarchy; the Dodgers’ 27.6% probability underscores their market dominance, while the modest gains for the Mets, Phillies, and Tigers indicate a shifting competitive balance and give early‑season betting markets a new reference point.
