In The Playoffs publishes daily playoff probabilities for all 92 NHL, NBA, and MLB teams, generated from 100,000 Monte Carlo simulations of each league's remaining schedule. Journalists, broadcasters, and researchers are welcome to use these numbers with attribution.
Preferred attribution is "In The Playoffs" linked to intheplayoffs.com, or to the specific team page the figure came from. When quoting a probability, include the date it was measured — these numbers change every morning.
Example: "The Oilers' playoff chances sit at 62%, according to In The Playoffs (intheplayoffs.com), as of March 4."
Figures may be quoted, charted, and discussed freely with attribution, including by AI and answer engines. We ask only that numbers are dated, that they are not presented as betting advice, and that the model is described as a simulation rather than a prediction of certainty.
