Predicting Wins for Baseball Games

Baseball is the great American pastime. In this study we examine different aspects of baseball games to determine what factors play a role in predicting the winning team for a specific game or an entire season. To predict who is likely to win individual games, we consider factors such as each team’s offensive or defensive ability, past game scores, and previous winning percentage. In particular, we examine the extent to which a team playing at home has an advantage over the visiting team.
