Just a quick question about this...
What does does the "Pyt.Rec" column mean and what is the difference between that and your actual record?

Pythagorean record is used to estimate a baseball team's record based on the number of runs they scored and allowed.
You can actually use this to figure out how lucky/clutch (when your record is greater than the estimation) or unlucky/not clutch (when your record is lower than the estimation).
It was invented by Bill James I believe.
