Updated Projected 2019 Standings

Bryce Harper is now a member of the Philadelphia Phillies organization — signing a 13 year deal worth $330 million. Craig Kimbrel and Dallas Keuchel are remarkably still up for grabs; with that being said, Spring Training is nearly a week-in and the regular season is in less than a month.

In this investigation, we will attempt to project the 2019 standings through finding a relationship / pattern between each team’s overall WAR (all WAR are according to FanGraphs) and the number of games they win. To find this relationship (for each team) — WCF (Wins Correlation Factor) — let’s take a trip back in time. 
1. The formula used to calculate WCF for a single season can be seen below…
WCF = Wins – Team WAR
2. The formula used to calculate an Overall WCF (accounting for entire data sample / last 5 seasons / 2014:18) can be seen below…
Overall WCF = (2018 WCF * 0.30) + (2017 WCF * 0.25) + (2016 WCF * 0.20) + (2015 WCF * 0.15) + (2014 WCF * 0.1) 

Angels

Overall WCF = (44.6 * 0.3) + (50.2 * 0.25) + (47.3 * 0.2) + (55.9 * 0.15) + (53.1 * 0.1) = 13.38 + 12.55 + 9.46 + 8.385 + 5.31 = 49.085
2018 Team WAR: 35.4; 2018 Record: 80-82; WCF: 44.6
