I entered this pairwise matrix (AL results, without interleague games):
0 6 4 5 4 7 7 5 5 10 13 6 9 4
3 0 10 2 3 6 6 4 5 0 7 11 5 11
5 9 0 4 3 6 4 2 11 8 5 14 4 14
4 4 2 0 10 8 13 9 3 2 7 4 6 3
5 3 4 9 0 9 11 7 2 6 5 3 1 5
2 0 1 11 10 0 8 7 4 4 5 3 4 4

5 8 5 4 2 2 3 2 7 3 7 9 2 0
At condorcet.ericgorr.net.  The results are a bit surprising:
By Beatpath, Minnesota wins.
By Ranked Pairs, Boston and Anaheim tie.
You may be right that in this case (due to unequal "votes" in different 
contests and the lack of opportunity for strategy) margins or even relative 
margins could be a better measure here than just winning "votes".
