Lucky/Unlucky Baseball Teams

Fangraphs.com, which is best described as the baseball version of this site (actually, the other way around) posted an article today about the luckiest and unluckiest MLB teams at the all-star break.

It's very similar to my own lucky/unlucky breakdown. They're using a simpler runs for/runs against Pythagorean model while I use a logistic regression of efficiency stats. Both systems adjust for opponent strength. I think both are appropriate for the different characteristics of the two sports.
