Looking forward to perusing that data when it is available. :) You run a great site here...been impressed with it for a few years running now! Thanks David…

I want to get the standings out first, but this can probably be available soon afterwards. I’ll put this at the top of the list of things to code.

If you remember David, we were talking about "exciting" games, and last year, we kicked around different ideas. It seems to me that the closer the win expectancy stays at .500, the more "tense" the game might be. A high average LI probably describes an exciting game and an average win expectancy close to .500 for the winning team probably describes a "tense" game. Yes, this sounds like a good idea.

Must say I am quite the enthusiast of the data you make available at fangraphs (especially the live updating win probability graphs!) but I have a small request. I don't think it would take much work to implement this - I am interested in studying the average win probability of each game. I think this could shed light on how dramatic (in total) each game is, and how much the winning side dominated the losing side. It could even improve our ability to project future winning percentages (based on a team's average win-probability disposition). It would be nice if fangraphs.com posted average win probability and average leverage index for each game - think you can make that happen? Thanks in advance for your response...
