Why (as a European, but my dad is big a DET-fan) do you guys estimate WPE from high level variables?
Baseball is basicly a lineup versus lineup sport, right? Or in terms of the link: Q per team is variable between matches. An additional modelling level should estimate Q per team per match, before estimating Qx - Qy.
Without Cabrera, DET has a harder time winning. Same for the big bearded guy.
As a sidenote: some guy posts his code (+) and gets upvoted (+). He's not aiming to change the world, or to become a 100-million firm. He wants feedback and to improve his approach. We can give him that without the "aararrrgh, but Terrence Tao is much smarter than you"? Otherwise, just don't upvote :)
