S6 Playoff Matchups
Awhile back, I found a calculator that the University of Minnesota developed in the computer program R that lets you plug in the following information and it generates the odds for each team to win the series at that point in time:
- Number of games in the series
- Home winning percentage of higher seed
- Away winning percentage of higher seed
- Current series score (I always enter 0 games to 0 even if I don't get around to running the numbers before the playoffs start)
Here's how the Season 6 playoff matchups break down...as the playoffs progress, I'll add in results too:
