OOTP's predictions so accurate it's spooky

In each of the past four years, OOTP has revealed its projections on MLB Network before the first pitch of the postseason. And given all of the unpredictable variables of the playoffs, especially this year, when the field was expanded to 16 teams, OOTP's record is remarkable.

Nice to see something other than infectious Dodgers, Blake Snell, filled with foreboding, and bad stuff 'bout the Mets on the front page for once, especially if it's OOTP!

It really is remarkable still, to me at least, to see OOTPB mentioned on THE official website of Major League Baseball!

Too bad MLB didn't acquire OOTPD rather than Com2uS. There, I said it. No, I am not going to discuss why I said it.

Hmmm. Good point. Viewed that way, maybe Com2uS is indeed preferable!
