Moneyball and MJG

So I put some more time into collecting data today.  I'm sure I could probably pay to get some of this stuff but I am a poor lonesome teacher that would rather collect it and enjoy some White Stripes in the background as I copy and paste in excel for an hour.   My main factors so far have been spread of past games and runs and such, but as I'm putting some of these games in it looks as though starting pitching is a bigger factor than I expected.  I will prob put that in after i have what I'm doing now done.  I guess it makes sense that starting pitching would make a difference, but what I've noticed is that sometimes what is common sense isn't actually the correct sense.  Especially when it comes to betting trends which I hope is where all of this will lead to.   Well back to excel repetition.
