How do you get percentage points in team standings in baseball?

The term 'percentage points' is used when two teams are tied in the standings but have not played the same amount of games.
Team A has won 90 games and lost 60 games
Team B has won 89 games and lost 59 games
The way to determine how many games one team is behind another team is to subtract the two teams wins, subtract the two teams losses, add those two numbers together and divide by 2. Using Team A and Team B as an example, we would use the equasion:
((90 - 89) + (59 - 60)) / 2 which works out to be (1 + -1) / 2 which works out to be 0 / 2 which equals 0. Team A and Team B are tied in the standings. But Team A's winning percentage is .600 and Team B's winning percentage is .601. Even though Team A and Team B are tied in the standings, Team B has a higher winning percentage than Team A.
In a situation like this, you might hear an announcer or sportscaster say "Team B is percentage points ahead of Team A" or "Team A and Team B are tied but Team B leads by percentage points".
