    How do you determine the probability of a team getting swept?

    If you wanna nerd out harder, there's likely some fat tailed distributions due to a team significantly missing its median expectation due to injury or just incorrect assessments of true talent level etc. But I don't think I've ever seen anything where this was more than a fun theoretical exercise to mentally masturbate over.

    You have to set a line on each game then do as durito said.
