| I was trying to think of ways to pass the time this offseason that don't involve the rest of my life outside this game, so I decided to look up my team's Pythagorean expectation from last season. For those unfamiliar, this statistic takes your run differential and puts out an "expected" winning percentage based on how you outscored your opposition. For those interested, here's how to compute your team's Pyth. NB: You can use the average runs for and runs against stats listed in the history page to do this calculation. Here's the formula: 1 / (1 + (runs for / runs against)^2) The / (divided by symbol) should be treated as a fraction bar in the above example, just to be clear. I hope those who are willing to share will post theirs! Mine was .769 (yes, this thread was an elaborate brag, I admit it). |

| I did the same during the season and it helps forecasting my pace. It could be useful. | ||
