League Analytics

Total Oracle roster value by team, split between active MLB roster value and farm-system depth.

Roto Contention Board

Tier
Active chase band means close enough to first place to move into the title race: Contender, Fringe, Stagnating, or Rebuilding.
Reachable Points
Categories where a team is within 2.0 points of the next team up, making the next standings point realistically attainable. Higher totals usually mean a team is more live and competitive in the current race.
Luck Delta
Actual roto points minus expectation from tight category clusters. Positive means results are running ahead of that baseline. Negative means if you set your lineup you'd be doing better.
Volatility
Movement from rank changes and category swings during the season. A lower value means more stable performance.

Projected Final Standings

Directional finish forecast built from today’s roto points plus a rest-of-season projection of each team’s active roster. Injured-list and minor-league players are excluded, so paper depth does not inflate a this-year read. It is a weighted read, not a simulation.

Baseline
Starts from today’s roto points, then moves each team up or down from that base.
Projection
Rest-of-season SGP summed across active MLB players (IL and minors excluded) sets the direction and size of each team’s move.
Regression
Luck and recent swings do not move the projected point; they only widen or tighten the finish range.
Range
Higher volatility and bigger luck gaps widen the finish band around the projected point.

A short editorial read on the roster’s clearest action, based on category pressure, roster shape, and timing.
Trade Posture
The most obvious deal signal right now: what to target, what can be moved, and how aggressive the team can afford to be.
Outlook
A slower-moving read on direction: pushing to win now, soft retooling, building through the farm, or protecting a narrow edge.
