Triple Crown Race

The initial discussion of my methods posted Friday night. J.D. Martinez fell back in the race for the batting title as Mookie Betts collected three hits to raise his BA to .339. Martinez stayed at .335 with a one for three night. The probability of Martinez besting Betts in batting drops to 0.37.

Neither Martinez nor Khris Davis homered Friday night. Martinez’s probability of at least sharing the home run title remains at 0.33.

Martinez drove in two runs Friday and Davis drove in none. Martinez’s probability of at least sharing the RBI title rises to 0.975.

Multiply those three probabilities together and the overall probability of Martinez achieving a triple crown stands at about 0.12.
