Right. I don't know what the formulas are, but Baseball-Reference, Baseball Prospectus and FanGraphs all use different formulas. I'm pretty sure all three list the formulas they use on their websites. I don't know if OOTP uses one of those three or its own, but it seems to work well considering there isn't one commonly used formula.
