Now it is time to do the math in order to see who has won each match-up in Week One. Your team gets one point for a higher team batting average for the week, a higher team total of home runs, a higher team total of RBI, a higher team total of stolen bases, a lower team ERA, a higher team K/9, a higher team total of wins, and a higher team total of saves.
Plus, you earn a point for your team if you calculate all of these statistics correctly. You earn two points if you calculate your statistics and your opponent's statistics correctly.
Click on the link to your Week One statistics below. Print the charts and do the math. You may ask for some help with this if you need it. Then, email your calculations to me (davberkley@gmail.com) by this Friday, August 12.
Week One statistics:

Ian v. Kyle
Tom v. Manny
Some helpful formulas:
- batting average (AVG) = hits / at bats
- earned run average (ERA) = (earned runs / innings pitched) x 9
- strikeouts per nine innings (K/9) = (strikeouts / innings pitched) x 9
Talk to your assistant manager about what these statistics tell you about a player and a team.
