The goal of this project is to create a model for the St. Louis Cardinals that predicts the tendency of an opposing team to execute a sacrifice bunt in certain situations. While the occurrences of the sacrifice bunt in a given season are small when compared to the total number of plate occurrences that provide an opportunity to bunt, a successful defense of a sacrifice bunt or a sacrifice bunt executed in the right situation can mean a win for the manager ordering the bunt. It is often the case that teams advancing to the playoffs do so by a margin of one win over another team.
