Excellent question. As I understand it, in that list BC15NY is spelling out for us which expansion era teams are currently the least well-represented. According to Bill:
The White Sox, Twins, Indians, and Giants have no expansion-era core team in the set, and subsequently the lowest EXP card counts, other than the four most recent franchises.
Of these, the White Sox & Twins have the fewest post-expansion players, with 54 and 58 respectively. By contrast, Cleveland and the Giants have 69 & 70, respectively. So, the list was to explain why he was offering a choice between a Twins champ team and a WS champ team. Each is a long-established franchise currently under-represented in the expansion era.
