Pythagorean 2.0 Projections: 2009-2010 Spanish Primera (2010-04-19)

Categories: Soccer Pythagorean: Tables

I was working on a new way to streamline the computation and publication of my Pythagorean expectations for various leagues, and I had used the Spanish league table as a test case.  My code worked very well, so I'm publishing those results here.  There will be some other league results coming up shortly, including the projections for the just concluded Dutch league which I am sure will break my projections!
