Yankees - A’s Win Probability Added

WPA results of the recent three-game series

One faithful reader used the WPA spreadsheet to track the just-completed three-game Yankees/A’s series.  As he said, “It was very cool.  I saw the game from a different perspective.”

Here is the Player Log from the series (which the A’s won, 2 games to 1).
