PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Predicting wins and losses in sports is not all that different than trying to predict the weather. Each is an inexact science where you try your best to look at all the various data points to come to the most logical and, hopefully, the right conclusion. However, human nature, or Mother Nature in the case of weather, plays a large role in how all of these predictions play out in the end.
There is no true way to know if the Phillies will win on Thursday afternoon or if the high temperature that day will be exactly 60 degrees.
