I'm trying to use 'urlread' to load MLB standings from ESPN. When I enter urlread('http://proxy.espn.com/mlb/standings?year=2016&month=april'), the url for the April 2016 standings, I get a bunch of code and I can't quite figure out how to separate the data I want from it, that data being the wins, losses, pct, and GB for the NL Central.

Hi there,
There is a file exchange submission, GET HTML Table Data into MATLAB that might help you out with this scenario.
I just used the code with the above submission as below and was able to get the table:
web('http://proxy.espn.com/mlb/standings?year=2016&month=april');
getTableFromWeb
myTableData = getTableFromWeb(1)
Please provide feedback to the submission in case you have any in the File Exchange page.
Thanks
Nikhil
