It's February, so I'm Trying to Find things to Post On. Therefore You're Going to Get Some Simple Regression Tests from the 2008 MLB Season.
The Major High Outlier: Angels with 66 Saves and 100 Wins
The Low Outlier: Atlanta with 26 Saves and 72 Wins
Formula: Saves = -4.701583 + (0.545737) * Wins
ReFangled Formula: Wins = (Saves + 4.701583) / (0.545737)
Fun Math Time
This is really a useful tool for fantasy players rather than predicting a teams success. How much does winning more games truly effect the likelihood of saves? There's a lot of numbers close to the line and then there's the Angels with a ridiculous amount of saves. Anway let's take a look at it from a Fantasy perspective. Say I think the Yankees are going to win 100 games, than how many shaves should I expect Mo to get? 50. Now say I think the Nationals are going to win 50 games this year because their rotation is dog poo. How many saves would Joel Hanrahan have in that scenario? 23.
