Well had a eureka moment of sorts last night. Got all of my games into excel with all of their factors and finally got to play with them in my stat software. So it turns out I had to do some transforming of the independent variables. Pretty weird, don't know if it will work once I start picking games and on top of that I also have a few factors that I thought really wouldn't mean much actually turn out to be significant. As of now the way my formula is set up it will show me what games should have a larger difference in Runs scored, but it will not tell me which team should win or lose. I have to back track it and look at each teams stats to see which one is the weaker or stronger team. This seems like a lot of work, and I think I can just make an algorithm to work it out, but I don't want to deal with it until it gets so annoying doing it by hand that I want to put forth more work. Now I've just got to dig up some games from years past to work it out on to see how well the equation works.
I hope everyone has an awesome Valentines day. I will be buying mlb.tv online for my vday gift and with this gift I will be assured to not have a girlfriend till October. Think of how much that one $120 payment will save me in the long run. I believe Ayn Rand put it best "Wealth is the product of man's ability to think". By having 24 access to a full season of games I believe I will be able to think 10 times more clear than having just one woman....or two.
