    Baseball modeling question - steroids
    Dear sports modelers,

    How do I properly account for steroids in my sports model? I have included the following 4x4 player stats, modeling team runs for and against:

    AVG
    R
    RBI
    SB

    ERA
    K
    BB
    WHIP

    Something feels off in my model though, and I think if I could include steroids somehow, kind of like a slugging SLG number, but more of a ROID number.

    I think my model is currently 20 cents off on certain lines because I'm not accurately accounting for this statistic. There is no chapter on this in the book I use, Baseball Hacks.

    Also, where can I scrape web data for roid usage? cbssports doesn't include it.

    Thanks guys. Trying to turn a decent profit this MLB season.
