## How the Pythagorean Win Formula Works

### Formula

**Expected Win % = PF^exp / (PF^exp + PA^exp)**

Where PF = Points For, PA = Points Against, and exp is the Pythagorean exponent.

### Typical Exponents

- **MLB**: 1.83
- **NFL**: 2.37
- **NBA**: 14
- **NHL**: 2.05

Teams that significantly outperform their Pythagorean expectation often regress toward the expected record in subsequent seasons.

Exemple Résolu

NBA team: 750 points scored, 680 allowed through 82 games (exponent 14).

  1. Win % = 750^14 / (750^14 + 680^14)
  2. This evaluates to approximately 0.769
  3. Expected wins = 0.769 * 82 = 63.1 wins
  4. Expected losses = 82 - 63.1 = 18.9
  5. Avg point diff = (750 - 680) / 82 = 0.9 per game
