Formulator vs. Hat – MLB Picks for April 7, 2015

So we tested our MLB formula against simply picking teams out of a hat yesterday and I’m relieved to say the Formulator won 9 out of 15 games, while the hat won 7 of 15.

Here’s how yesterday’s picks broke down:

GAME HAT FORMULATOR HAT SF
Cardinals at Cubs Cubs Cardinals 0 1
Rockies at Brewers Brewers Brewers 0 0
Mets at Nationals Nationals Nationals 0 0
Braves at Marlins Braves Marlins 1 0
Pirates at Reds Pirates Reds 0 1
Padres at Dodgers Padres Dodgers 0 1
Giants at Diamondbacks Giants Giants 1 1
Blue Jays at Yankees Blue Jays Yankees 1 0
Twins at Tigers Twins Tigers 0 1
Orioles at Rays Orioles Orioles 1 1
White Sox at Royals Royals Royals 1 1
Angels at Mariners Angels Mariners 0 1
Indians at Astros Indians Indians 0 0
Rangers at A’s A’s A’s 1 1
Red Sox at Phillies Red Sox Phillies 1 0
 WINNERS 7 9

We decided to give the hat a second chance at beating our formula so we pulled names out of the hat again today.

Here’s the lineup for picks for today’s MLB games.
