It's time to leave the world of WAR and move onto what should hopefully be a better indicator of team talent in terms of projecting a 2010 win total. I have programmed up my baseball simulator with the first 50 games of the Dodgers schedule. Taking the Dodgers win probability from each game and adding them all together and dividing by 50 you get the Dodgers 50 game win total expectancy.
As part of this exercise, I had to make a few assumption in order to keep this from becoming a science project. I used roster depth charts from Yahoo sports, using the same starting lineup for each team, in each and every game. I used 5 man starting rotations, skipping the 5th starter when their turn was not needed. For the Dodgers, I split 5th starter starts between Eric Stults and James McDonald. For player projection inputs, I generate my own player projections.
For a detailed description of the results, please navigate to this Fanpost at the Dodgers True Blue LA blog.
As time permits, I will add 10-20 games to the simulation per week and update the table below.
| Team | Games Played | Wins | Losses | Win % |
| Dodgers | 50 | 29.7 | 20.3 | .594 |
