This list includes single-division League Championships, even if there was no postseason series thereafter. It also includes teams that finished 1st, in either half or overall, in the strike-shortened seasons of 1981 and 1994. And it includes teams that reached but lost single-game or best-2-out-of-3 Playoffs in the Pre-Wild Card Era. Ties in rankings broken by most recent, regardless of head-to-head matchups.
