Being a Red Sox fan this looks good but isn't Cleveland in first place?

[Nutlaw]

It would depend upon how you chose to rank them. Apparently, the game seems to rank by a total of wins minus losses. Those first three teams are all at plus two. Seem fair?

[Tony M]

Traditionally, it's always been percentage as the first ranking category, so Cleveland should be on top regardless.

[zekester91]

The game ranks them by GB, and then it alphibetized. it's really too small games played to make that much of a diffrence
