Top 10 MLB Teams (Total Value):

1 New York Yankees $3.3 Billion
2 Los Angeles Dodgers $2.1 Billion
3 Boston Red Sox $2.1 Billion
4 New York Mets $2.1 Billion
5 Chicago Cubs $1.3 Billion
6 San Francisco Giants $1.2 Billion
7 Baltimore Orioles $1.1 Billion
8 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim $1.1 Billion
9 Philadelphia Phillies $1 Billion
10 Texas Rangers $1 Billion

Only two teams out of the top 10 were able to see the post season, although a few more were in contention until the final week/week and a half. It also took my favorite game of the year, by number, not outcome or competitiveness, to eliminate the Rangers.

DISCLAIMER: I realize that historically, you'd rather be the Yankees than the Indians or Royals
