How the gambling markets view Tigers in the AL Central

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

Screen Shot 2015-06-30 at 3.47.14 PMIn my latest Detroit News article, I use a rich source of information to evaluate the AL Central: the gambling markets.

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.
