An ongoing and interesting discussion is how much a single player is worth to his team. The current standard for the statistical minded baseball community is to measure a players value in wins above replacement level (WAR). For example a player with a WAR of 5.0 contributes with five (5) more wins in a 162 game season than a replacement level player. More about WAR and replacement level can be found at FanGraphs, one of the best online resources for baseball. By Harri Kairavuo | eastsideportsanalysis.com
When the first edition of Projected Standings was released on the 6th of January, I was hoping to be able to compare the next edition of the projections to available market odds. I am going to wait for Pinnacle Sports to release their odds so there is no comparison together with edition 2 of projected standings. By Harri Kairavuo | eastsideportsanalysis.com

In this season preview I am discussing the MLB-season 2014 from a betting perspective. I try to give a straightforward picture of the things I feel are important, in order for the season to be profitbale. I am also going through the differences in my handicapping methods compared to last season. With the changes I’ve made I am looking to correct the mistakes that were made last season (eg. a weak start of the season and very bad picks for underdogs). The reader of this text should make note, that I am only presenting my own opinions. The absolute truth of the discussed topics is probably not known by anyone.

Baseball is as sport where it’s pretty easy, compared to other sports, to measure the difference in ability between teams. A baseball match consist to a large extent of the duel between the pitcher and the batter. The other players (fielders) play a role in deciding the outcome, but that role is pretty minor compared to other sports. Because the game is in an on/off- mode between every pitch, statistical documentation of even the smallest details within the game is possible. When the batter hits the ball there is a lot less happening on the field (and the measurement is easier) than for example in a football match, where the good/bad performance of a player can be very dependent on how his teammates or the opposing players are performing. |
