[Beyond the Box Score] Rooting for seeding just isn’t interesting - As we would expect, talent level gradually declines over the first six seeds, but then bounces back up slightly once we reach that first Wild Card team. It’s somewhat surprising, but I also don’t think it’s controversial to say the Reds are better than the Marlins. Note that a seed of zero means the team did not reach the postseason. Using the average talent level of each seed, I made each matchup play each other 10,000 times to get an estimate of how likely it was that each seed would win an individual game against their first-round opponent.
