Wins and losses are the culmination of many different events in baseball, and there are many factors that go into a win or loss. A single win or loss column can only give so much information, and this research paper will measure which metrics are the most telling in measuring a team’s success, defined by a team’s winning percentage. Whether it is statistics, the time of day, or the strength of a team’s opponents, each factor has a different effect on wins and losses. By delving into these factors, we hope to explain what determines success or failure in the captivating world of baseball.
