The San Francisco Giants won the World Series, and there’s no doubt that they were the better team and deserved to hoist up the Commissioner’s Trophy.

Winning games is obviously the goal in Major League Baseball, but I thought it could go deeper than that. Unlike football, baseball doesn’t have a salary cap, and that gives small-market teams more of a disadvantage.

So, I wanted to see how much each team paid per win in 2012. I took each team’s payroll (via CBS Sports) at the beginning of the season and divided it by the number of wins it had in the regular season.

Here is the list, ranked from most expensive to least. Obviously, the lower the price, the better.

Back on March 24, I came up with 10 bold predictions for the 2012 season.

The point of these “bold predictions” was to find scenarios that would most likely not happen, but still find enough evidence to prove that they could come true.

For example, saying Miguel Cabrera would be a top-five fantasy player would not qualify as a bold prediction.

With August rolling in, I thought it would be fun to look back at what I came up with. Here are my findings.
