Generation

The Pythagorean expectation is a formula used primarily in baseball to estimate a team's expected winning percentage based on runs scored and runs allowed. It helps identify teams that may have over- or underperformed relative to their run differential, suggesting whether their win-loss record is sustainable or likely due to luck. The concept has been extended to other sports to evaluate team performance beyond simple win-loss records.
