These are the records of one season simulated using my MLB 2k12 2006 roster. They are comparing the teams real 2006 record, it's simulation record, or sim record, and its pythagorean W-L record, which uses the team's runs scored vs runs allowed to determine a team's luck, or lack there of. The over/underrated part is comparing the team's simulation record to it's pythagorean W-L.

Team Real Record Sim Record Real Pyth W-L Over/Underrated
Yankees 97-65 97-65 95-67 slightly over
Twins 96-66 94-68 93-69 just right
Oakland 93-69 86-76 85-77 just right
Blue Jays 87-75 86-76 86-76 just right

Rockies 76-86 85-77 81-81 slightly over
Cubs 66-96 89-73 70-92 just right/injuries

So, aside from a few outliers, it looks pretty good. The cubs record is so good because so many of their key players (Derrek Lee, Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, ect).
