MLB Standings Integration + Lovelace Card for Home Assistant

[walteij (Walter)]

Hi everyone,

As a baseball fan and Home Assistant user, I was already using the excellent ESPN Team Tracker integration to keep track of scores and game results.

However, I was missing one thing: the actual MLB standings.

I wanted to see:

• League standings
• Division standings
• Wild Card races
• Postseason picture
• Games behind
• Win/loss records

directly inside Home Assistant without having to open MLB.com every time.

So I decided to build my own solution.

What I created

MLB Standings Integration

A custom Home Assistant integration that retrieves and exposes MLB standings data from the MLB Stats API.

MLB Standings Lovelace Card

A companion Lovelace card that presents the data in a clean and baseball-friendly dashboard view.

Features

• American League standings
• National League standings
• Division standings
• Wild Card standings
• Games Behind (GB)
• Team records
• Postseason race tracking
• Fully integrated with Home Assistant dashboards

Why?

Because knowing that your dishwasher finished 17 minutes ago is nice.

Knowing your team just moved into a Wild Card spot is important.

Feedback Welcome

This started as a personal project, but if other MLB fans find it useful I’m happy to continue improving it.

Suggestions, bug reports and feature requests are welcome.

All f this existed for some time.
I wrote the original, @bburwell has also done considerable work.

Sports Standings and Scores

I have been creating a Sports Standings Dashboard that utilizes the ESPN REST interfaces as well and several sensors to deliver a consolidated dashboard for Home Assistant. It is a mix of REST sensors and templates sensors based on thse REST sensors to display standings for NHL, MLB, NFL and NBA sports. Of course you could change and extend to sports that you target if you like. It has grown to the point where others should take a look and give feedback. The full solution is posted here: It…

All MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and many other sports.

@walteij Awesome job on this!!! I love what you have done. As @kbrown01 pointed out we have implemented a lot of this using the ESPN API’s and you can see in the thread he added but the Wild Card Stats were alluding me. I just started playing with the MLB API a few weeks ago and was able to get what I wanted here:

Keep up the great work I’ll be watching!!
