Does OPS have a direct correlation with wins?
ReplyDeleteHere is a post I did several years ago
ReplyDeletehttps://cybermetric.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-relationship-between-ops.html
The The r-squared was .869 in one regression, meaning that 86.9% of the variation in winning pct is explained by OPS differential. The correlation is .932 and that squared is .869. So their is a high correlation between ops differential and winning pct
I used regression analysis to see how big the impact of OPS differential was on winning (using the years 2010-2014).
Here, instead of using individual years, I used the average OPS differential and average winning pct for all 30 teams over the last 5 years.
The regression equation from using individual years was
Pct = 1.325*OPSDIFF + .5
The r-squared was .827 and the standard error was .029. Over 162 games, that is 4.639 wins
The regression equation from using the 5 year average was
Pct = 1.3465*OPSDIFF + .5
The r-squared was .869 and the standard error was .017. Over 162 games, that is 2.72 wins. That is a big drop from the first regression. In a given year, luck will play a role. But the more seasons and data that are used the more accurate the relationship. By combining the years, some of the good and bad luck evens out.
