MLB Playoff Pool Scoring Example from 2014

The screenshot above is an example picksheet with results from the 2014 playoffs. I weighted the higher seeds in both American and National leagues highest.

Unfortunately the top seeds (LA Angels and Washington) only won 1 game total between the two, so my total point yield was poor. Ideally you want the teams you weight highest to get the most wins.

Here is playoff bracket from 2014:

All the teams in the playoffs (10 teams made the playoffs in 2015) are weighted on your picksheet. In 2014, if you would have taken a chance on San Francisco by weighting them with a 10, it would have had a big payoff since they were World Series champs.

Other MLB Playoff Pool Idea

If you want to run a pool manually that is purely random, try a MLB Playoff Box Pool setup. Everyone writes their name in a square and you win if your square has the two teams in the World Series.
