2014 MLB TARP Analysis  (Team Adjusted Run Production)


Yesterday:  2-1 +0.68

Defense wins championships and I geared this system to predict the defensive side of the ball more. So far, the results have played this out, albeit after only a small sample size posted here. My average runs allowed per game so far is 3.44, which is 0.66 rpg less than the major league average of 4.10. As long as my offenses can produce close to average I should be alright. My rpg is above average at 4.20 but my OPS is lacking a bit at just .650, although higher than the .625 for my opponents. Just negative variance so far being slightly in the red with a +0.76 average margin of victory.

Boston 0.1 0.8 3.6 119 124


Today's selections

Might play the LA Angels if the line comes down a couple cents. San Diego also qualifies as a play but going to pass since SD is 2-4 L6 and I had them projected to go 5-1 in those six games. LAD are only 1-4 L5 but I only had them projected for 2-3. Plus, the mighty Kershaw goes tonight and he already lost his last game. Not going to bet on him losing two in a row.
