NJIT Math Professor Bruce Bukiet Makes the New York Times

Bruce Bukiet makes predictions of the baseball standings before the season begins every spring.  There was a nice article about him in the New York Times saying how his predictions for this season were very wrong.  He predicted the Washington Nationals would win the NL East with 99 victories while the Mets would be in second place with 88 wins.  The Mets won 90 games but finished 7 games ahead of the Nationals.

Bruce obviously can not predict injuries that will occur during the season and could not anticipate the trades the Sandy Alderson made at the trade deadline.

Let's Go Mets!!
