The “Pattern Doctor” appeared, who predicted the results of the 2019 Major League in mathematics, and which team won each district?

If you are a baseball fan, you should expect the outcome of the season to be your own. As an associate professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology, a major league fan, he uses mathematical methods to predict where the season's team will be.

2019 Predictions for MLB Baseball Playoffs by NJIT Professor-YouTube


◆ Prediction method
The forecast was announced by Dean Bruce Bukiet, an associate professor who teaches mathematics at New Jersey University of Technology. Buquiette started his forecasting model in the late 1980's and has been updating its data year by year to improve its accuracy. Although Buquet's prediction model is a combination of countless prediction models, one of these prediction models is the runner's progress prediction model. This model is to calculate the probability for each scenario that occurs at each turn at bat. The scenario is three outs of 'no out one out two out' and eight progress situations of 'no runner, one base, two base, two base, three base, two base, two base, two base and two base, two base, three base, third base, full base' There are 3 x 8 = 24 scenarios by. And for each scenario, the batting average is calculated taking into account the batter and the pitcher.

It is possible to predict the result of each game by accumulating the results of batting calculated in this way, and also to predict the final result of each team. Mr. Buquiette has used this prediction model and has won the prediction champion many times in the SNS where 'American baseball doctor (Baseball PhD)' gathers.

◆ Predicted results
Here are the predictions that you are concerned about.

・ American League
East: New York Yankees (105 wins)
Middle District: Cleveland Indians (98 wins)
West: Houston Astros (103 wins)

・ National League
East: Washington Nationals (99 wins)
Middle district: Milwaukee Brewers (90 wins)
West: Los Angeles Dodgers (105 wins)

Bueckit estimates not only the district winners but also the number of winners for each team, details can be found on Buekit's site .
