By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

Each day, sports book set a moneyline for each game, and investors around the world put money on both teams. This collective wisdom of crowds drives a final price that should accurately reflect the strength of both teams.

Based on this market data, I calculate expected records for each team over the season. The results for the AL Central are surprising.
