This is the All-Star Break stats report! It’s pretty much the same stuff as in past years, but I have some new summaries in the works for the next one. Let me know if there are other things you want to see.

Roto Standings Over Time

These charts show the standings for if we were in a roto league, where each team is ranked by how well they did in each stat category (10 points for 1st place, 1 for last). The 3-Week Moving Average chart makes it easier to see which teams have been playing well lately.

Midseason Update: Jeff has been way ahead of the pack for most of the season, which mirrors his large lead in the actual standings. His max roto points was 85 and he currently sits at 81. Mitch and I are next in the standings and also the next highest according to roto, while Ed is in 5th place based on roto but last in the actual standings - that is a great example of the difference in the formats. Grant and I have had a steady rise in the rolling roto standings while Kevin has recovered from a rough stretch a few weeks back as he tries to return to the playoff mix.

All-Star Break Update: After briefly losing first place in the roto standings, Jeff is back on top with 78.5 points. I’m close behind, with 74.5, followed by a bit of a gap before the Bretts appear at 3rd and 4th place. Things are much closer in the moving average chart, with the aforementioned teams all very close atop the recent roto standings.

What else stands out from these? The below charts are interactive, so you can hover over the points on each team’s line to see how they progressed in the standings.

Best Weeks Overall

This table showcases the top 10 overall weeks of the season (Week 1 excluded). This is done by comparing the stats each team put up to every other manager in every other week, and arriving at the average number of expected wins.

Midseason Update: Jeff’s Week 2 is rated as the best week of the season, garnering on average 9.51 wins over all other matchups so far! Jeff (4) and Mitch (3) dominate this list, with Kevin, Grant and I also making an appearance.

All-Star Break Update:Jeff bested himself in Week 13 with a week that would average 9.78 wins against the average opponent this season. Brett G’s Week 14 clocks in at 3rd overall as he continues his rise up the standings. I just missed out on the top 3 weeks, but my stretch from Week 10-12 lands me a few entrants on the list, while Mitch (2) and Kevin (1) also make appearances.

Actual vs Expected Wins

This section made it back for another year of experimentation! The actual vs expected wins have spread out a bit just like past seasons.

Midseason Update: Jeff’s team is rated as the luckiest, though some of that perceived “luck” might just be due to matchup strategy. On the other side, Brett G, Ed and Kevin are sitting around 5 wins lower in the standings than what we’d expect.

All-Star Break Update: Jeff, Nicole and myself are rated as the luckiest teams, while Kevin’s team is way “ahead” of the competition in bad luck. Time is running out for his luck to turn around!

I have 4 of the 6 luckiest wins of the season, no doubt fueling my comeback in the standings. Six of the ten teams appear on this list.

League Activity

The plot below shows where everyone ranks in total games played, total innings pitched, wins (size of bubble), and acquisitions made (color of bubble). You can hover over each dot to view the values. I think this highlights how there are different strategies to having success in fantasy baseball, as the top teams can be found in 3 different quadrants.

Team Summaries

I made these spider plots mostly because they look cool, but you can also get a relative sense of strengths and weaknesses compared to the rest of the league.
