Wednesday I asked anyone and everyone to fill out a survey on their teams rivals, and here are the results!Consensus Top Rival was the team that received the MOST votes for "Primary Rival." Points Top was the team that after assigning points to each rank (8 for first, 6 for second, 4 for third, 2 for fourth, 1 for fifth) had the most points.TEAMCONSENSUS TOP RIVALPOINTS TOPSECONDTHIRDFOURTHFIFTHSample SizeArizona Diamondbacks Dodgers Dodgers Brewers Giants Rockies Pirates 8Atlanta Braves Nationals Nationals Mets Phillies Braves Cardinals 15Baltimore Orioles Yankees Yankees Red Sox Nationals Blue Jays Rays 15Boston Red Sox Yankees Yankees Rays Orioles Tigers Cardinals 33Chicago Cubs Cardinals Cardinals White Sox Brewers Reds 34Chicago White Sox Twins Tigers Twins Cubs Indians Royals 24Cincinnatti Reds Cardinals Cardinals Pirates Cubs Indians 7Cleveland Indians Tigers Tigers White Sox Yankees Twins Reds 13Colorado Rockies Giants Giants Diamondbacks Dodgers Pirates 7Detroit Tigers Indians White Sox Indians Royals Athletics Giants 23Houston Astros Rangers Rangers Cardinals White Sox Nationals 1Kansas City Royals Cardinals Cardinals Tigers Yankees White Sox Athletics 14Los Angeles Angels Athletics Rangers Athletics Dodgers Red Sox Mariners 17Los Angeles Dodgers Giants Giants Cardinals Diamondbacks Angels Yankees 40Miami Marlins Braves Braves Nationals Phillies Mets Rays 4Milwaukee Brewers Cardinals Cardinals Cubs Pirates Twins 9Minnesota Twins White Sox White Sox Tigers Yankees Brewers Indians 18New York Mets Phillies Phillies Braves Yankees Nationals Cardinals 40New York Yankees Red Sox Red Sox Mets Orioles Rays Angels 28Oakland Athletics Angels Angels Giants Rangers Tigers Mariners 17Philadelphia Phillies Mets Mets Braves Nationals Cardinals Dodgers 11Pittsburgh Pirates Cardinals Cardinals Reds Brewers Braves 13San Diego Padres Dodgers Dodgers Giants Diamondbacks Mariners Cardinals 8San Fransisco Giants Dodgers Dodgers Cardinals Athletics Diamondbacks Rockies 49Seattle Mariners Angels Angels Athletics Yankees Rangers Padres 26St. Louis Cardinals Cubs Cubs Reds Dodgers Brewers Giants 50Tampa Bay Rays Red Sox Red Sox Yankees Rangers Phillies Marlins 8Texas Rangers Angels Angels Athletics Astros Mariners Yankees 9Toronto Blue Jays Orioles Yankees Red Sox Orioles Rays Tigers 22Washington Nationals Braves Braves Phillies Cardinals Orioles Mets 18Total581Top Tier RivalriesThese rivalries were near unanimously chosen by both fan bases as the biggest ones.Braves - NationalsRed Sox - YankeesCardinals - CubsDodgers - GiantsMets - PhilliesNear TopOne or both of the fan bases were a little split on who was their top rival, but both of them rated each other highlyWhite Sox - TwinsIndians - TigersAthletics - AngelsRangers - AngelsTop-SecondarySometimes rivalries are a little one-sided, these ones one team has a different primary rival, but still had the other team as their second rivalry.Cardinals - RedsRays - Red SoxTigers - White SoxSecondaryThese teams have other primary rivals, but they both agreed to hate each other second.Braves - MetsPirates - RedsNotesThe poor Astros only had one respondent, and not even the Rangers cared enough to rank them that highly as a rival.Some teams had outlier picks that would have gotten into the top 5, but were most likely misclicks (Pirates rating Cleveland as top rival instead of Cincinnatti) or joke picks (we're our own top rival, yuck yuck,) or had only one person pick at a lower spot and really didn't seem to fit.The Braves were the only team that I didn't delete from their own rivals, because they had three unique serious responses that ranked them their (unlike other teams that had one person who only put their team down.)Finally, here is a link to all the responses and data in case you want to do something with it to prepare for February 11th's self.post only day! via /r/baseball http://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/2uy8am/rank_your_rivals_results_analysis/
