MODERATORS
There’s a lot more randomness in baseball, and it’s also a lot harder for a single superstar to carry their team.
A god-tier pitcher will still only start 1/4 of their team’s playoff games. A god-tier hitter will only get 1/9 of their team’s plate appearances.
In the NFL, by contrast, the quarterback touches the ball every offensive play of every game. So if you have a god-tier qb like Pat Mahomes, that gives you a hard to beat advantage so long as he’s healthy.
In the NBA, any player on the floor could conceivably touch the ball on every possession. So if you have a god-tier player like Lebron on your team, it’s much easier to have them carry the rest of your team on a deep playoff run.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
