Glossary

GBs - Summed Games Back. This was developed by John Dewan of Acta Sports (who publishes a lot of really good baseball books, BTW). He introduced this in a Stat of the Week™. The idea is that you add up how far behind the team is for every team ahead of it in the standings. For example, say the Mets lead the NL EAST with the Braves one game back and the Phillies six back. The Braves are only one game back of the Mets, so GBs=1.0 for them. For the Phillies they are six back of the Mets and five back of the Braves, so their GBs=11.0. It probably isn't a perfect measure of a team's difficulty of getting into first place, but it is likely a better measure than just plain old GB. Note that for the wild card this becomes a bit of a mess, but in this calculation we exclude the current division leaders, to give you a number for just the teams in the current wild card race.
R - Runs scored per game
RA - Runs allowed per game
pythW-L - Pythagorean Win-Loss created by Bill James this estimates a team's Win-Loss record by the runs scored and runs allowed. This is typically more accurate for predicting a team's future record than their actual win-loss record.
Luck - The difference between the team's actual wins and the team's pythagorean wins.
Home - Record in home games.
Road - Record in road games.
ExInn - Record in Extra-inning games.
1-Run - Record in one-run games.
vs.RH - Record in games where the opposing starter was right-handed.
vs.LH - Record in games where the opposing starter was left-handed.
≥.500 - Record in games where the opposing team has a record at or above .500. This is based on the opposing team's record for the entire season.
<.500 - Record in games where the opposing team has a record under .500. This is based on the opposing team's record for the entire season.
L10 - Record in their last 10 games.
L20 - Record in their last 20 games.
L30 - Record in their last 30 games.
