How to read the ratings
The ratings are log-rate adjustments. An offense of +0.10 means the team's expected runs-per-game is e0.10 ≈ 1.10× the league baseline; a defense of +0.10 cuts opponent scoring by the same factor. Overall strength is the sum of the two.
The bars show the 80% credible interval of the posterior. Wider bars mean we have less certainty about that team — usually because few games have been played, or results have been inconsistent.
