As a reminder, the teams are ranked from #20 through #1 based on aggregate WAR162. For the 1910s (1910-1919), a total of 160 teams were eligible (16 teams x 10 seasons), so the top 20 teams are a fairly exclusive group. We&#8217;ll summarize each team, including portions of their team dashboard, and explain how they attained their ranking. So, without further ado, here are the teams ranked #10 through #6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the interactive dashboard at Tableau Public: <a href=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/views\/Top20MLBTeams1910-1919\/Dashboard1?:language=en-US&amp;publish=yes&amp;:sid=&amp;:redirect=auth&amp;:display_count=n&amp;:origin=viz_share_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1910s Top 20 MLB Teams Dashboard<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1e96bbe7455a1449d9552fb2fb6ca7c1\" style=\"color:#2a35ff\">#10: 1914 Philadelphia Athletics, 51.7 WAR162<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1914 Athletics ran away with the AL pennant, topping the runner-up Red Sox by 8.5 games. Their run differential far surpassed all rivals as they continued a dominant run with one of their final great teams of this era. The team was especially dominant versus right-hand pitching, posting a 70-29 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"705\" height=\"184\" src=\"https:\/\/visual-baseball.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visual-baseball.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-9.png 705w, https:\/\/visual-baseball.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-9-300x78.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Athletics offense embarrassed their AL rivals by scoring 134 more runs than the next team, and easily led the AL in BA, OBP, and OPS. The A&#8217;s weakness was a relatively ordinary pitching staff that placed 4th in ERA, 6th in WHIP, and 5th in strikeout-to-walk rate. The pitching staff was adequate in supporting a great offense, but it kept this squad from an even higher ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/visual-baseball.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visual-baseball.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-10.png 711w, https:\/\/visual-baseball.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-10-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=collied01,collied02&amp;search=Eddie+Collins&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=visual-baseball.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_br\">Eddie Collins<\/a> was the offensive leader, ably supported by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bakerfr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=visual-baseball.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-02-25_br\">Home Run Baker<\/a>, a 1-2 punch that led this era of A&#8217;s teams to several pennants.
