    Yeah, this was my question as well as Id imagine wins are quite a bit noisier than run differential due to luck + sample size issues. Agree that Vegas should be a baseline as well.

    How good are Fangraphs Predictions (2023 Edition)

    Lemme chime in here, if you predict the population mean for every data point the R^2 will always be 0, since the variance of the residuals is exactly the variance of the population in that case. So yes, R^2 is 0 if you predict 81 for every single team.

    i mean, did they care when they were playing well? to me it looked like they were kinda going through the motions even then, and they are capable of stomping teams without trying too hard, especially when they hit their threes. which they were.
