Baseball Handicapping

In seems like each season there is some new statistic major league baseball throws out to the general public. Obscure statistics like Relief Efficiency Rate may have some use for the the die hard baseball fan but when it comes to baseball handicapping, stats like this have no bearing on judging how well a team will perform.

To be of importance to a baseball handicapper, a stat must be primary useful in determining which team will win or lose the game. Another good example of this is the stolen base. Announcers, fans, historians, and scouts use the stolen base as a way to judge how great a baseball player may be, but in all reality the stolen base has little or no impact on predicting who will win the game.
