One formula, every club the site covers. See the whole board →

Who controls the club

The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.

How this is measured

Exactly one control entity is recorded per franchise, so a portfolio can never count a club twice. Co-controllers and minority holders are shown as published and carry no weight in any total.

The chip names the evidence. Sourced: a primary source is linked (league, club, filing or tier-one outlet). Cross-checked: matched against the ownership-change sweep. Contested: disputed or mid-sale. Rows are reviewed weekly.

Stakes are as published, often only “majority”, and are not pro-rated. A record of control is not a claim about anyone’s intent or conduct.

Pending: control sale. Kroenke Sports & Entertainment agreed to buy control from Arte Moreno at a record ~$4B valuation. Announced 1 Sep 2026; MLB owners' approval pending, closing expected early 2027

Top 12 postseason games

Highest-rated postseason games in franchise history by the site's Game Score metric, which combines hype, quality, stakes, and matchup rank. Losses can outrank routine wins because the formula scores game quality, not franchise spin.

Games it had least right to win

Every Angels game ranked by the Elo win probability before first pitch. The last column is that probability; the lower it was, the bigger the upset.
