This project relies on data from the Lahman and Retrosheet baseball data repositories to simulate different beat the streak strategies.

MLB's beat the streak is a fantasy game that challenges users to correctly predict players who will get a hit 57 times in a row (with some caveats).

I built this simulation purely for personal use, and as such there may be some bugs.

USAGE: runs a single simulation with given parameters and options

./npsimulation.py [OPTIONS] simYear batAveYear N P

Options:

-d : DoubleDown. If not provided, default is SingleDown

-sM=[METHODNUMBER]: Indicate simulation method. METHODNUMBER is an int If -sM=3 or -sM=4 is chosen, must provide -mE

-mE=[MINERA]: Indicate minimum era to be used if sM=3 or sM=4. Must be a positive rational number.

-mP=[minPlateAppearnces]: Indicate minimum number of plate appearances that a player must have had to qualify for the sim If not provided, defaults to 502

-t : indicates results should be printed to test results folder
