• How professional odds makers predict the length of a seven-game series
• How to use mathematics to make smarter bets
A Mathematician at the Ballpark
is the perfect guide to the science of probability for the stats-obsessed baseball fans—and, with a detailed new appendix on fantasy baseball, an essential tool for anyone involved in a fantasy league.
