I don't know if this maybe just me, but I have a hard time with how "Games Over 500" is measured. For example, right now, the Brewers are 49-37, so it is stated that they are 12 games over .500. However, the way it should be calculated is that since the Brewers have played 86 games, .500 would be defined as 43-43. Therefore, the Brewers are 6 games above the .500 mark. I understand why it is referred to as being "12 games above 500", but it seems that this is incorrect based on how standings are measured. Yes, we've won 12 more games than we've lost, but shouldn't it be based on the number of games we've played?
