A few quick and dirty takeaways:
- Run scoring was a full 4% higher than predicted in the Johnson League, while the run totals in the Atlantic League were pretty close (<1% variance).
- Louisville (+22 wins) and Yellow Springs (-20 wins) essentially swapped places from the Preseason Predictions.
- Sacramento's pitching. Just... wow. Truly in a league of their own.
- There's enough variance in the predicted versus actual data that there's no reason to give up if your team is tabbed with a grim forecast, but it's also worth noting that the predictions did correctly call three of the four division winners.
- It would probably help to expand the study to include previous seasons, but based on my experience with OOTP over the years, I suspect that this snapshot would prove to be pretty representative of a typical season.
