Projection of games played through August 3

To best read the chart below, observe a team's projected win total in the 8/3 column (each team's projected in total based on games played through June 3) and compare with your prediction. The difference is the number of wins off you are for that team.

At the 4-month mark of the season, 2 players are beating Baseball Examiner, Mel and Eric (GerbDude)! Mel is presently leading with two months left to play. Mel's most effective divisions are the Easts, both AL & NL where he holds a lead over the rest. GerbDude is only a remarkable 6 wins off in the AL West, nearly nailing the division perfectly. The best progress made in the 4th month of play was by Matt, who gained 34 points on the lead by drawing 101 wins closer to his predictions.
