First, I loopu dked up their recent games. You know, just to see how they've been doing lately. I scrolled through some spo I dnrts news websites, and I checked out their win-loss records. B.scificepoth teams are pretty good, which I already knew, but I wanted the specifics.
Digging into the Stats
Then, I tried to find some head-to-head stats. Like, how have they performed when they've played each other this season? That felt important. I spent a good chunk of time looking for this. It was harder to find than I thought!
- I checked the official MLB website.
- I looked at a couple of sports blogs.
- I even tried some fan forums (that was a mistake...lots of yelling).
After that, I started looking at individual player stats. You know, like batting averages for the hitters and ERAs for the pitchers. This was a LOT of information. I felt a little overwhelmed, to be honest. I mainly focused on the star players, figuring they'd have the biggest impact.
Making a (Totally Unscientific) Prediction
Finally, after looking at all this stuff, I just went with my gut. It wasn't based on anything super concrete, just a feeling based on what I'd read. I thought about the pitching matchups, recent performance, and, honestly, which team I wanted to win.
So, that's it. That's how I made my prediction. I'm probably way off, but it was fun to try and figure it out. I'll be watching the game to see if I was even close!
