Thanks to everyone that participated in our Brew Crew Ball division predictions. All told, we got 178 predictions. After eliminating five unrealistic predictions (any prediction with a team winning less than 55 or more than 110 was wiped out), we had a sample size of 173 entrants. Here are our predicted NL Central standings:
Team | Avg W | Avg Finish |
Cardinals | 89.6 | 1.35 |
Brewers | 86.1 | 2 |
Cubs | 80.2 | 3.3 |
Reds | 77.0 | 4 |
Astros | 71.0 | 5.1 |
Pirates | 67.3 | 5.75 |
All told, I'm pretty happy with these results. This is a pretty fair approximation of my expectations for the division this season.
