MarlinsMS_35 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_expectation It's very interesting. I tried it out with this years Marlins, to predict where they should be at now, and I messed up somewhere, because my answer is totally unreasonable. Notice the bad handwriting :D Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23546-predicting-wl-in-mlb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quirinus Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I think you must have done the math incorrectly, 616^2/616^2+615 and 1/1+(615/616)^2 give me .500812.

philliesphan18 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Wow sweet, so it DOES work (supposedly). I saw the something like this in a textbook of mine recently and I thought they were full of mud. But, I was wrong.
