Mathematician Predicts Yankees To Dominate
anthemaniac writes "Computerized projections in sports are nothing new, but Bruce Bukiet of the New Jersey Institute of Technology has developed a model that seems to work pretty well. He projects how many games a Major League Baseball team will win by factoring in how each hitter ought to do against each pitcher in every game. His crystal ball says the Yankees will win 110 games this year, a pretty safe bet, many might agree. But he also projects all the divisional winners. He claims to be right more than wrong in five of the past six years."
"Hello Mr. Bukiet"
"It's pronounced bouquet!"
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.

They did. It's called "tenure".

That's nothing: I've devloped a new mathematical algorithm that correctly predicts the outcome of the past six years with 100% accuracy.
The Pirates - 2nd lowest payroll - will suck again. 14 losing seasons in a row. I give it a 99.9% certainty they make it 15. I'm not even a MIT grad!
I would say 1.0*10^2 wins.

If you're not outraged, then you're not paying attention.
Not safe at all, until you factor in whomever the Mob has their money riding on.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
