Three teams left, and all three have bigger-than-average analytics staffs. Brewers: 46 (2nd in MLB) Rays: 39 Guardians: 30 League average: 28.5 The Phillies have the biggest staff in baseball, and they're already home. Like payroll, it's one input. Everything else combined still matters more.

QB play for JUST this weekends games and YES FOLKS WE HAVE PUBLIC CPOE DATA!!!!! Darian Mensah basically has a perfect game vs. Stanford. Rocco Becht efficient but less accurate. Julian Sayin continues his usual spot in the top right

With the Boston Marathon today, a good time to re-up one of the greatest figures in sports data: the distribution of marathon finish times (n=9,789,093). The spike at 4:00 is not a coincidence.
