The Professor takes the lead (as usual)
May 1st marks the first measurement of our Baseball PhD MLB Predictions Contest. The concept is simple. Pick the eight teams that will make the Major League Baseball playoffs and get a point for each team that you pick correct. The only score that counts is when the season concludes on Wednesday, September 29th.
9 Participants
This contest has nine participants. Each participant has predicted that the Red Sox and Phillies will make the 2011 playoffs. Consequently, everyone’s other six picks will determine the outcome of the contest. If the season were to end on April 30th, the 8 playoff teams would be:
American League National League
New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies
Cleveland Indians St. Louis Cardinals
Texas Rangers Colorado Rockies
LA Angels/Tampa Bay Rays Florida Marlins
No Participant has picked the Indians, Rays or Marlins to make the playoffs
Last year’s defending champion, Professor Bruce Bukiet currently has four points (Yankees, Rangers, Phillies & Cardinals). In second with 3.5 points (Yankees, Angels, Phillies & Rockies) is Rodney Johnson form playballexperience.com.
4 Participants are tied in third with three points
Andre Lower (Yankees, Phillies & Rockies) from baseballbypositions.com is tied with each member of our PhD Committee with three points each. We’ll see in another 30 days if Professor Bukiet’s’ power of math wins the day again.
