Good afternoon. I would really like some help on this.
I am currently working on modeling runs scored and runs prevented in the MLB. As it stands now, I have a somewhat functional model.
My question, is how to properly combine RS/RA to get a total.
For example, lets say the Yankees are playing the Red Sox. Below are my hypothetical model results.
NYY Runs Scored = 4
NYY Runs Allowed = 3
BOS Runs Scored = 5
BOS Runs Allowed = 4
To get a game total, do I simply average these numbers (NYY RS + BOS RA) & (BOS RS + NYY RA)?
Thanks for the help!
