Week in Review

For the week we were 5-6 for a loss of 1.76 units and are now minus 43.25 units on the season. 

We released 11 free baseball picks for the week, our most active week this season. As I believe our performance to have stabilized, you can anticipate this greater number of picks in anticipation of a 2^nd half rally.

I will continue to work hard, and maintain the solid baseball betting strategy that has worked for so many consecutive years.

Hope you enjoyed the All-Star Break.

Wishing you a great week!

Week in Review

For the week we were 2-4 for a loss of 4.32 units and are now minus 41.49 units on the season. 

Our performance appears to have stabilized, as we are about even over the last 4 weeks.

We will now look to build some momentum going into the All-Star Break in anticipation of a comeback in the second half of the season..

I will continue to work hard, and maintain the solid disciplined approach that has worked for so many consecutive years.

 

Wishing you a great week!

Reaching important conclusions about players and teams through statistical baseball analysis requires some understanding of the game. Whether an amateur or professional analyst, a grounding in basic pitching and batting data is a must.

With regard to hitters, batting statistics are key in teasing out the general acumen of players at the plate. Hitting for power is affirmed by large numbers of home runs. The ability to hit in general is determined by batting average. Players with high batting averages may or may not hit for power as well. Hitting statistics are important in a player’s earning power. Better hitters will obviously earn more money.

While batters secure their paychecks by hitting, pitchers obviously secure theirs by preventing hits and runs. Probably the three most important categories in figuring a pitcher’s worth are runs permitted per nine innings (earned run average), as well as games won and batters struck out. His spot in the pitching rotation, and his value to the team, can be pretty closely found out by analyzing these numbers.

Most amateur fans will be familiar with basic statistical categories. Beyond this is a whole other layer to the game. This is the arena of professionals, who spend their careers breaking down numbers and forming comparisons and contrasts between various players.

Most in-depth analysis revolves around computerized graphs, charts, and other intricate computations. In this manner, complex comparisons can be made immediately after a game ends and revealed to fans in real time.

Any comparison between teams and players, including some that are quite obscure, can be teased out and examined through statistical baseball analysis. Different eras of the game can be compared and contrasted, and the true stars can be determined.
