Thats OK if they put the teams name in letters.


I'd just like to see how their numbers that is based on raw stats work for predicting the winners.

Baseball Prospectus has their projections up for team standings, if I'm not mistaken.

The thing you have to understand about Sabermetrics is that we're not an oracle. The best you'd probably squeeze out of us is a projection of the probabilities of the Indians winning the Central or somesuch.

"The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet." We can just tell you what the best bet is.
