If a baseball team was 16-0 to start the season and another in the same division was 14-0, which would be in first place? And how many games behind would the 14-0 team be in the standings?14-0 is the same as 16-0. You have to go by percentages because number of games change over time. Otherwise one would argue that 15-1 is a better record than 14-0.
