Random.org v. The OHenry Machine – 2018 Tony Predictions

The OHenry Productions Tony Awards Prediction machine goes head-to-head with Random.org in the 2018 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.
Single Simulation = We ran a single simulation for Tony night based on the percentages dictated by The OHenry Machine, using random.org. There are bound to be upsets, and this method shows one possible outcome for Tony night.

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