Who has the hot bats?

[therber2]

Hello ladies and gents.

In this thread I am going to be tracking two things that I will rate teams by:

Total runs scored divided by total innings plays [A]

more important indicator IMO:

Total innings with run scored divided by total innings played [B.]

lastly which teams are in the top 5 and bottom 5 at any point in time.

I will be looking at using this for picking my winning team and for game totals. For game totals I am going to track total lines per day and fine an "MLB closing line game total avg."

Spring training is underway but only a few days in so as of 3/4 here are the results thusfar.

two things first of all. This is to get ideas spring training is nothing like regular season. Second, at this point the template is set up and I have very little data. I may experiment with a system to create picks by this is a stats service from me to you, and I always love feedback/ideas from you guys.

Team rank (lowest to highest) criteria [A]:
Minnesota Twins
Arizona Diamondbacks
Boston Red Sox
Pittsburgh Pirates
Philidelphia Phillies
Kansas City Royals
Milwaukee Brewers
Oakland Athletics
San Diego Padres
New York Yankees
Chicago White Sox
Tampa Bay Rays
Los Angeles Angels
Atlanta Braves
San Francisco Giants
Detroit Tigers
Toronto Blue Jays
New York Mets
Seattle Mariners
Baltimore Orioles
Washington Nationals
Chicago Cubs
Colorado Rockies
St. Louis Cardinals
Florida Marlins
Texas Rangers
Houston Astros
Cleverland Indians
Cincinnati Reds
Los Angeles Dodgers

Team Rank (lowest to highest) criteria [b]
Minnesota Twins

For now I am not going to bother much with [C]. I think the [b] will be the most important indication of the value of a team. I will update again when we have more meaningful data from Spring training. Once regular season starts this study will begin again from scratch because this data should only at the point be taken lightly. Probably not until June will this data be useful at all, but it is good to start it going.

Two days in to regular season

Does anyone know you to do an excel screen shot? So it doesn't look crappy like below?

**Please do not go off of these results until about a month into the season. I'll update this about twice a week maybe.
