Pre-Season Predictions: How'd We Do?
2005-10-03 19:34
Back in March, the nine of us here at Toaster got together at the behest of Cub Town's Alex Ciepley to predict the way the 30 major league teams would finish within their division and which two teams would take the Wild Cards. Now that the regular season is over, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at those predictions and see how we did. What I've done (as I did at the All-Star break in my mid-season predictions review) is given each of us a score based on the number of games away each team is from the position we predicted they'd finish in the standings. For example, I predicted that the Diamondbacks would finish last in the NL West (heh), so I get 10 points added to my score because the D-Backs actually finished ten games ahead of the last-place Rockies. I then get four more points for having the Rockies in fourth because they finished four games behind the fourth-place Dodgers. For the Wild Cards I used the same system based on the distance between the predicted team and the team currently in the Wild Card lead. The lower the score, the better the predictions (at least according to this system). Got it? Use these links to review our American and National League precitions and comments. Here are the scores: American League
