July 6th, Marlins vs Dodgers - Simulation

PrintI used my simulator to simulate 100000 baseball games between the Marlins and the Dodgers using what to the best of my knowledge will be close to today's starting lineups. The simulator outputs a win probability for each team, along with the average total runs scored, a distribution matrix of all the final scores and how often they occurred, and an averaged box score tally of all games combined. The simulator takes into account such things as defense, park factors, home field advantage, pitchers tiring and a proprietary set of hitter and pitcher projections that are calibrated on a daily basis. There are many references to Vegas win probabilities. This is just a measuring stick I use to determine how well my simulator does. This by no means is meant as a tool to use to gamble on baseball games, it is more of an exercise in analyzing baseball games. You may find it strange that there are so many one run games listed as the most likely score, and that the home team is always favored to win in the top couple of scores. This is due to basic math and the way that baseball rules play out of having the home team bat last. Here is a great article explaining this phenomenon. Here are the latest Vegas MLB odds.
Today's Results... (Last simulation ran Tuesday at 7:15 AM)
| Visitors | Home | Pitching Matchup | Favorite | Vegas Win Prob | Simulator Win Prob |
| FLA | LAN | C.Volstad vs V.Padilla | LAN | 61.98% | 53.13% |
Notes: Vegas is much more confident in a Dodgers victory than the simulator is today. Get your game score guesses in.

Yesterday’s point collectors in bold
#43
we should have the OUOUU game more often,…. not only elys starts… its fun
It is where
I create five over/under questions related to that game and if anyone picks all five over/under questions correctly, they get ten bonus points.
I'd give Eric a point just for picking this one
Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?

49 LAN 7-2
was going to go 50 in honor of it being my brother’s 50th bday, but could not bring myself to take FLA so I went 49 in honor of him no longer being under 50
#45 LAN 7-3 hits
MammothDodger has to be smarting a little bit, after nearly hitting the 7-2 score and moving up 49 points on the leaderboard. As a consolation prize, he did win five points for being the closest to the score on the list.
5 points: MammothDodger #49 LAN 7-2
3 points: delias man #40 LAN 6-1
1 point: keitchc13 #53 LAN 7-1
During the Carter Administration
But seriously, that’s a good question. We’ll let you research it. :)
thnaks
i tried to research but it was too much work for me. can I get 10 points like phil did in the 7-7 -10 game?
