Those of you whom have been reading my work for the past 15 months know that one of my favorite things to do is to expose and correct common false perceptions. It’s not so much that I like proving people wrong. (Although, I do.) It’s more so that I...

I’ll be honest. When we sent out the data call for standings predictions, I picked the Yankees to win the AL East. Honestly, it was really hard not to. They already had an incredibly solid club as they entered the offseason, and then they went and added...
