    BONUS: My Weather-Based Model to Predict Home Runs

    I created a home run predictor centered largely around various weather-related factors. This lesson provides access to that model and shows you how to use it to maximize home runs.

  2. 2

    My Weather Research Process for MLB

    This lesson outlines my weather research process in daily fantasy baseball—where I go, what I’m looking for, and which data I think is most valuable.

  3. 3

    The Effect of Rain on Player Performance

    The effect of rain on baseball results is pretty strong. Most people understand the importance of predicting rain when it comes to games getting delayed or postponed, but few realize how precipitation affects how pitchers deliver the ball, how batters perform in the rain, and how you can make money with this information.

  4. 4

    The Impact of Temperature on Fantasy Scoring

    Temperature is one of the main predictors of how far a batted ball will travel. The difference between 90 degrees and 70 degrees is probably a lot more than you think. Learn exactly how heat affects fantasy baseball performance, and how you can leverage the data into a competitive edge.

  5. 5

    Using Wind Speed and Direction to Predict MLB Scoring

    Wind’s effect on baseball games is much different than what most people believe. Everyone knows the wind blowing out at Wrigley Field is a big deal, but few realize all of the nuances of when wind has a major impact and when it doesn’t. You’ll learn one particular direction of wind that greatly influences the flight of a baseball.
