Associated Medium Article

The metric used to determine the potential advantage was the "Probability of Beating an Equal Oponent At Home." This was done by creating a pseudo-neutral location metric and comparing that to the home win rate of all the teams. The data analysis was done in Python using Numpy and Pandas, and MyPlotLab did the graphing.
