Random.org v. The OHenry Machine – 2017 Tony Predictions

The OHenry Productions Tony Awards Prediction machine goes head-to-head with Random.org in the 2017 Tony Awards

Methodology:
Random.org = We used random.org to generate a number randomly corresponding to one of the nominees.
OHenry Machine = The nominee our algorithm believes is the most likely to walk home with the award.
Robo-Teamwork = We used random.org to generate a nominee that was not random, but instead based on the percentages generated by the OHenry Machine. There are bound to be upsets, and this method randomly predicts where those upsets will take place.

Be sure to check back tomorrow around 5:00pm for my final predictions, and see how they compare to these. Who will win – Man or Machine?
