I'm serious about building a succesful model to predict baseball games. I have collected all the historical data that I need from baseball reference dot com. I have found a run estimator on the internet. I'm using Jim Furtado's Extrapolated Runs Formula. I'm going through each line-up card and calculating singles, doubles, triples, etc... The problem is this is very tedious and time consuming. It takes an hour each game to do it by hand. Is there a way to automate this process? Can I have the computer calculate everything for me? The calculations are simple. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Should I use team stats to speed up the process? I hesitate to do this, because I will lose some accuracy. I don't have sixteen hours a day to devote to baseball handicapping. Any suggestions?
