How you use it
Workflow preview. No account is needed to explore this overview.
- 1
Choose the workspace
Open the MLB or NBA game lab, NFL Playoff Picture, or NFL Playoff Bracket. Each workspace answers a different question.
- 2
Set your scenario
Use that workspace’s available matchup and scenario controls. Compare the assumptions before comparing the outputs.
- 3
Review the output
Inspect the simulated game or playoff path, then change the inputs to see which assumptions matter.
Simulation outputs depend on their inputs. The current hub includes MLB, NBA, and NFL workspaces; it does not offer a game simulator for every sport on the site.
From-scratch engine: test your what-if scenarios
Inside the MLB Builder’s simulation panel, the From-scratch engine projects a game from team scoring and starting-pitcher run rates only. It never sees the betting line, so it can disagree with your build and with the game line. Change your inputs, rerun the game, and see which assumptions move the result.
It is a sandbox for checking your own assumptions. It is not a pick service and makes no promise about results.
