It's just me, my WAR-Ratio method and other factors and considerations, basic stats available to everyone and a little bit of calculus along with my Ti-84+ calculator.......thats it......you heard it here first.......

ALS awareness matters on..... and off the field...... Lou Gehrig Day or not...... IMO with todays technology maybe an advancement is right around the corner and you never know.....
Remember it's been well over 70-80 years since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed and to this day there is no real cure for ALS....... maybe there isn't a cure but despite that IMO people like Sarah Langs are truly an inspiration not just in the real work she does in the sport not out of a need to be "better" or to do anything amazing really...... but just out of a real love for the sport.
The work and dedication Langs brings to the sport is equal to that of Astrophysicist or Brain Surgeons or something....... she simply shows us things about the sport it's trying to tell us and not many others or anyone else can see really...... and for no other reason but for a love of the sport.
Even Shohei, Judge, Trout and anyone else would agree and tip their hat to Miss Langs and all the work she does.
Maybe there isn't a cure today or maybe there won't be one tomorrow.......
But that doesn't stop Langs or hinders her in any way and she is simply the best in Baseball.
Reporting/journalism/statistics/analytics....... No one on the planet is better than Miss Langs and she is the best at what she does ^_^

The Cubs remain dominant in the NL Central and will be for sometime and forseable future....... the Cardinals just probably dont have enough steam it seems to make it to trade deadline and get over the hump.......
While the Mets remain on top in the NL and the Phillies slump in the NL East...... and the Giants, Padres and Dodgers are at each others throats in the NL West......
The Reds may just have an avenue and opportunity to sneak in and buy their ticket to postseason and take a ride on the October Train..... it seems like a slim chance...... but on paper they arent a half bad team.....

And well there is a lot of maths that goes into making solid projections and many do a bunch of other conventional things that while have some sense to them, don't really do a good job of using available stats and analytics to make solid projections.
The WAR-Ratio is pretty simple and from that you can apply the same logic to different aspects of the game from how to pick an FA to better build a team and just a better understanding of the game in the 21st century.The WAR-Ratio broken down to an equation and simple terms...... a lot of other maths and patience went over a month to get it down to this essentially and find that it applied to players with a WAR of atleast 1.5 or higher on average over 5 seasons...... this is how I was able to project MVP and Cy Young ahead of the "experts" for two seasons now along with other factors and considerations but mainly this.....
[(Players WAR average over 5 seasons)/(Projected WAR for next season)]
Vs whatever the "experts" and donkeys at MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox or the Baseball Writers Association of America over the past 2 seasons and MLB powered by Google AI..... it's better than 1000 years of combined knowledge of said "experts" or the conventional wisdom of the past 100+ years or any other methodology in Baseball in the 21st Century.
Its kind of complicated but when broken down to an equation its a lot easier to understand. Any player below .7 is not consistent or overvalued in some cases, any player above .8 is decent and a player that will perform shy of projections but still decent, .9 and close to 1 means a player set to meet projections or come close to them and 1 or above 1 is undervalued in some cases or a player that is set to meet projections or out pace them most likely....... Pretty much assigning an F, D, C, B, A or A+ grade to the value of a player.

May 6th 2023..... projected well before the "experts"....... he went on to hit 40+ HR and 70+ SB...... it goes without saying but Acuna Jr went on to win NL MVP that season....
Gaze into the crystal ball......
See the future.......
Acuna Jr is a masterpiece and will be a 40/40 player this season.
He will hit 40 + HRs and get 40 + stolen bases and whack plenty of balls to get on base, rake up plenty of RBI, as well as bring a top tier and 1st class defense for the Braves.......
Making Acuna Jr one of the most precious gems of the 2023 season and a valuable player not just for the Braves but for the MLB and Baseball fans across the world *_*

March 29th 2023..... a day before Openeing Day in America.
Pretty much AL MVP and AL Cy Young projections in a nutshell where I projected Cole as a top 3 pitcher along with Ohtani...... no "expert" had Cole on their top 10 even short of Sarah Langs and that's it...... only Sarah Langs had Cole on her list and even I projected him higher....... nvm what Ohtani did that season and the MVP he won and I projected ahead of the "experts"......
I also projected Snell for NL Cy Young before the "experts" and Acuna Jr for NL MVP.......
Gaze into the crystal ball......
See the future.......
As amazing as Ohtani is as a two-way let's just look at the pitcher. The hitter showed us he can still hit it out of the Tokyo Dome and into the moon at the WBC but the pitcher this is the part I feel many still overlook or don't appreciate.
But yeah again putting Ohtani the hitter aside let's look at the pitcher last season. Ohtani was the K/9 leader at 11.87 K/9, top 90th percentile of players with a whiff percentage in the low to mid 30s, averaging a 97mph fastball with 100+mph in his pocket when he really wants to get nasty, don't forget about his deadly sliders and his sinker with 19-21 inches of plate displacement.
Ohtani be making them see things that just aren't there when he wants with mirages or just hurls a comet right past them for the K's.
He showed no signs of slowing down or regression all to the end. The losing streak had it's down falls but what it unleashed in Ohtani the pitcher was a force unlike any we have seen in a while and he even went toe to toe with legends like Nolan Ryan chasing 7 straight starts with 10 Ks or more. He only got 6 but he won all those in a row something Ryan never did and only matched in modern times by Pedro Martinez. He not only did that but he chased a no-hitter on top of it.
Your going to see Ohtani chasing Nolan again and maybe matching and surpassing that 7 consecutive game 10 + K streak, were going to see him get a lot more praise from Pedro Martinez and we are going to see him chase that no-hitter again and he's going to get it. With more games he's going to play, tighter mechanics in the MLB vs himself in the NPB, the strike out rate and an even better projected ERA which in reality will be better than projections Ohtani is looking not just at MVP, he's looking at Cy Young in a tight race with Cole and DeGrom but again and I know it sounds crazy but after getting a taste last season he's looking at that No-Hitter too!!!!
He's going to be every pitchers envy and every batters nightmare!!! A real cold blooded killer behind the mound and a fire breathing dragon unlocked from it's cage with more games expected to be played as a pitcher in 2023 than in 2022......he's just a filthy animal and he's getting even filthier and nastier for 2023...

I BEAT every “expert” at their own game in regards to projections and I’m even beating and offering better results than MLB powered by Google AI…….
When it comes to what I have to offer and my results vs “MLB experts” or MLB powered by Google AI my methodology and insight using the WAR-Ratio has revolutionized how to see the game, how to better build teams, how to better make projections and how to actually explain what’s going on in the field in a better way than anything any “expert” has used in the past 100+ years or the combined 10,000 year knowledge of a panel of so called “experts”…….
