How Baseball Standings Work
May 1st, 2009

could someone please tell me how the standings work in baseball?
im a yankee fan and yesterday they were 4 qames behind tampa bay…..but today they won nd the red sux lost nd the rays won… arent they supposed to b 3.5 qames behind? buh they 4..
Put simply – every win for your team gets you a half game, every loss costs you a half game.
The Yankees won. That means they pick up a half game on both teams. The Rays won, which means they get that half game back from the Yankees. The Red Sox lost, which means the Red Sox will lose a half game.
SO, the Yankees stayed even with the Rays, and gained a full game on the red Sox.
