...who will have more?
Group A
Gary Sanchez
Didi Gregorius
Greg Bird
Or,
Group B
Aaron Judge
Giancarlo Stanton
Here's my (crazy) guess:
Group A: 87 Home Runs
Group B: 80 Home Runs
Put your best guess down here and we can all have a laugh come September.
Group B 110
Judge 54, Stanton 56
Group B: I expect a dropoff for each of the two, with Judge being more dramatic. I see Stanton in the 40-45 range and Judge in the 35-40 range.
I'm thinking 40 for Judge, 50 for Stanton, 35 for Sanchez, 25 for Bird, 15-20 for Gregorius.
Group B with 99
Group B: 95 Stanton 48, Judge 47
Judge 46
Sanchez 37
Bird 28
Didi 23
So 97 for Group B (Judge + Stanton) besting 88 for Group A (Sanchez + Bird + Didi).
B: 48, 49 (97)
My HR predictions:
Group A:
Sanchez 38, Bird 32, Didi 20 = 90
Group B:
Judge 46, Stanton 44 = 90
Regular season tie, to be settled in the playoffs!
...so far I've come up with the following from 12 responses:
Home Runs (Average)
Sanchez/Didi/Bird = 90.3
Judge/Stanton = 94.8
Home Runs (Median)
Sanchez/Didi/Bird = 88.0
Judge/Stanton = 95.0
Home Runs (Standard Deviation around the Mean)
Sanchez/Didi/Bird = 9.59
Judge/Stanton = 11.16
Only 2 out of 12 respondents have guessed Sanchez/Didi/Bird will out-homer Judge/Stanton.
3 have guessed a tie between the two groups.
7 have guessed that Judge/Stanton will-out homer Sanchez/Didi/Bird
Group A:
Sanchez: 29
Bird: 32
Didi: 22
Total - 83
Group B:
Stanton: 48 - new to league
Judge: 52 (Judge is still the better hitter)
Total - 100
Sanchez-37
Bird-21
Didi-19
Group B:
Judge-46
Stanton-42
88-77 Group B.
...the more the merrier!
