Scorecasting: The Hidden Influences Behind How Sports Are Played and Games Are Won by L. Jon Wertheim, Tobias Moskowitz

3.0

You'll like this if you like sports and want to challenge conventional wisdom. The authors look for the data to prove or disprove different theories such as the "hot hand", the "home field advantage" "icing the kicker" and more. The examples cover all the major sports, NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB as well as soccer and college sports. Fun, quick read where each chapter is a separate, stand alone issue or myth that they tackle.
