Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2022 Astros land in this spot? The Astros were an extraordinary story of … well, worst to first doesn’t begin to cover it, considering the depths of their struggles at the start of the decade. The reputation of that team was marred somewhat by the sign-stealing scandal that rocked MLB in 2020 — the Astros’ organization was punished, and multiple executives lost their jobs. The 2022 season, then, was something of a redemption story for the club: some familiar faces from 2017 were still on the roster, yes, like Jose…

Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2016 Cubs land in this spot? The 2016 Cubs don’t get any extra credit in the rankings for snapping a 108-year championship drought, but look at that roster and that season: they don’t need any extra credit, anyway. Third baseman Kris Bryant was the National League MVP, and a deserving one, too, as he led the senior circuit in wins above replacement while swatting 39 homers. Anthony Rizzo could have been the star player on a number of other clubs, but he was “merely” the second-best player in the Cubs…

Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2018 Red Sox land at the top of the list?The 2018 Red Sox won 108 games, the most of any World Series-winner this century. The reason that the 115-loss Orioles tied for the fifth-most losses since 1901 was because of these Sox: Baltimore lost 16 of their 19 meetings with Boston, and were outscored by 61 runs in those contests, more than twice the rate against non-Red Sox opponents, where the Orioles were 44-99. Similarly, the Blue Jays were probably a mediocre club, but going 4-15 against the Sox led…
