MLB - Process Z score

Excellent article by Eno Sarris from the 3/27/2024 Athletic:

Sarris: 10 Bold Predictions for the 2024 MLB Season

“Start with raw power (maximum exit velocity here), and game power (Barrel rate), add in an attempt to define hit tool (swinging-strike rate and hard-hit rate), and then throw in a dash of plate discipline (zone swing minus outside of zone swing). Call it the secret sauce, or, since you used z-scores to add it all up, Process Z. Take every player under 26 and give them a Process Z score. Then count the number of young hitters each team has with above-average Process Z. You’ll get:

• The Royals with six
• The Reds with six
• The Cardinals with five
• The Rangers and Tigers with four
• Six teams with three”

These teams went 4-1 Monday. Might be good teams to focus your bets on this year. I would like to know who the “six teams with three” are.

Good luck!

Interesting, all 5 teams are dogs on Tuesday. May as well sprinkle on each:

1. Royals ML +142

2. Reds ML +120

3. Cardinals ML +114

4. Rangers ML +134

5. Tigers ML +116

Good luck!
