The Power of Math rules Again!

Once again Professor Bruce Bukiet from the New Jersey Institute of Technology has proven that the power of math is a rock star.  Bukiet is in the lead for our 2011 MLB predictions contest with a score of 7.5 out of 8.   If the season were to end on July 1, the following 8 teams would make the playoffs.

American League

New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers & Texas Rangers

National League

Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals (tied with Milwaukee Brewers) & San Francisco Giants

Bukiet would have received a perfect score had the Milwaukee Brewers failed to be tied for first place in the NL Central.  Currently second in our contest is best selling author, Jonathan Eig with a score of 5.5. Eig so far has correctly predicted that the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Braves, Brewers and Giants will make the playoffs.
