Most Competitive Leagues - Analysis

Ok, I tallied each of the leagues cumulative stats (league averages of AVG, ERA, WHIP were used rather than cumulative) and then ranked. In addition, I measured how efficient each league was in each category as compared to league highs (lows for ERA and WHIP) and then ranked their averages. Depending how you see things one could use either, but in considering what NY 7 did, one could argue 'not chasing W's and SV's, to the detriment of ERA and WHIP' was worth it.

Interesting how my league was last. I considered taking a look at some other statistics such as standard deviations, but I think the results would pretty much be the same.

I think this is pretty accurate, because if you look at Chicago 4's final standings, I think you'd all agree that that was a very competitive league.
