Post-Season Odds

[Marco4]

Does anyone check the Post-Season odds regularly?

 

I've got a spreadsheet at work that I plug the results into and get a Pythag projection of where the Cubs should be, and where they are, but I like to check the post-season odds at BaseballProspectus, too.

 

How worthwhile are they?

 

The PECOTA one is pretty interesting at the moment, and certainly more favourable than the original. I just don't really know what to make of them.

Very accurate, as long as every player on every team keeps up exactly what they're doing for the last 88(or whatever)% of the season.

How worthwhile are they?

 

At this point is the season, I'd say they are worthless.

The PECOTA projection starts off being by far the most useful of the bunch, but loses that utility as the season wears on. Just FYI.

Its the PECOTA one I've been looking at; I realise that projections of any kind are pretty useless this early on, but it seems to reflect (more accurately) what I expect to see for the rest of the season.
