Braves-Nation.com MLB Poll - 7.28.08
The following poll was developed through a panel of 9 Braves-Nation.com members. The points were derived from the following very scientific system. Each first place team on each poll submitted received 30 points, the second place team received 29 points, etc. all the way down to the last place team on each poll receiving one point.
After all polls were submitted, the total points were tallied and the teams were ranked in descending order. In the event of a tie, we used the team's winning percentage as the tie-breaker.
The numbers you see below correspond with the amount of points each team received, not the order in which they were ranked.
The Los Angeles Angels moved to the top of the Braves-Nation.com Poll, beating out the Chicago Cubs, who had held the top spot for five of the last six weeks. The New York Yankees (+5) and Oakland Athletics (-4) were the only teams to move more than three spots in either direction. The Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers, New York Mets moved up three places in the poll, while the Minnesota Twins fell three spots in the poll.<table class="tborder" border="0" cellpadding="6"
