(source is baseball-reference.com) Pythagorean winning percentage is an estimate of a team’s winning percentage given their runs scored and runs allowed. Developed by Bill James, it can tell you when teams were a bit lucky or unlucky. It is calculated by (Runs Scored)^1.83 ——————————————————— (Runs Scored)^1.83 + (Runs Allowed)^1.83 The traditional formula uses an exponent of two, but this has proven to be a little more accurate. 1988 Dodgers Pythagorean Record: 91-70 1987 Twins Pythagorean Record: 79-83 It is pretty close…..both were NOT supposed to win….. Clearly the Twins had some hitting and the Dodgers were ALL pitching. Good comparison.
