Interesting 2001 Seattle and Oakland are in the Top 40.

I thought Oakland had better teams in Late 80's and early 70's.

I have gotten a really good league with using that listing....it's given me lots of options and ideas for historical leagues which I play almost exclusively.

Here are the top teams by fWAR, adjusted to a 162 game season, for 1876-2016. The number is the team's expected wins over 162 games (essentially their adjusted WAR plus 48).

128 - 1876 Chicago White Stockings
118 - 1927 New York Yankees
114 - 1902 Pittsburgh Pirates
113 - 1969 Baltimore Orioles
113 - 1998 Atlanta Braves
113 - 1905 New York Giants
111 - 2001 Seattle Mariners
111 - 1897 Baltimore Orioles

That's the top 8. Wasn't sure if the second Baltimore team counted as a repeat since it was obviously a different franchise than the 1969 team. Here is the rest of the top 30. Asterisks denote a WW2 season.

111 - 1879 Providence Grays (unfortunately not available in OOTP)
111 - 1944 St. Louis Cardinals*
110 - 1931 New York Yankees
110 - 1939 New York Yankees
109 - 1896 Baltimore Orioles
109 - 1894 Baltimore Orioles
109 - 1976 Cincinnati Reds
108 - 1880 Chicago White Stockings
108 - 1974 Los Angeles Dodgers
108 - 1997 Atlanta Braves
108 - 1886 Detroit Wolverines
108 - 1943 St. Louis Cardinals*
108 - 1882 Chicago White Stockings
108 - 1942 New York Yankees*
107 - 1898 Baltimore Orioles
107 - 2016 Chicago Cubs
107 - 1908 New York Giants
107 - 1911 New York Giants
107 - 1948 Cleveland Indians
107 - 1885 New York Giants
107 - 1881 Chicago White Stockings
106 - 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers

I'd just been playing around with this data recently and stumbled on this post and thought I'd share.
