NJIT's Bruce Bukiet predicts Major League Baseball Teams wins for 2011

Bruce Bukiet, an associate professor at NJIT, has applied mathematical analysis to compute the number of games that Major League Baseball teams should win in 2011.

The Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants should all win their divisions, while the Atlanta Braves will take the wild card slot in the National League (NL), says Bukiet.
In the American League (AL), the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox should tie for first place in the East, with both making the playoffs, while the Detroit Tigers edge out the Minnesota Twins in the Central Division and the Texas Rangers repeat as winners in the West.

Bukiet, an associate professor of mathematical sciences and associate dean of the College of Science and Liberal Arts at NJIT, bases his predictions on a mathematical model he developed in 2000. For this season, he incorporated a more realistic runner advancement model into the algorithm.
