The 2025 playoff odds have just been released, and it’s time to dive deep into the numbers and projections! With teams like the Dodgers forecasted for a .595 winning percentage and the correlation between BaseRuns and WAR showing intriguing results, it raises some compelling questions about how we evaluate team performance.
What do you think is the most reliable method for projecting a team's success: BaseRuns or WAR? Are we putting too much stock into these projections, or do they provide a valuable insight into what we can expect as the season unfolds?
Moreover, with the playoff odds indicating that a team with a 90% chance of making the playoffs means they could be playing in October 18,000 out of 20,000 simulated seasons, how do you feel about the unpredictability of baseball? Can we really trust these numbers, or is baseball too chaotic for projections to hold much weight?
Let’s also talk about the teams that might be flying under the radar. Which underdog do you think has the potential to surprise everyone and make a deep playoff run?
And for the bold predictions: Who do you think will be the biggest disappointment this season based on these odds?
