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.
