It'd be a bit tricky to add as it exists currently in MLB due to the way it figures which teams are eligible for the lottery: the smallest 10 markets (a non-changing list) and the 10 clubs with the lowest revenue in the first round; the clubs which didn't get a selection in the first round plus all clubs receiving revenue sharing eligible in the second round. OOTP handles market size in a completely different way, and revenue sharing works differently too.

Moreover, I've not seen described anywhere the exact mathematics behind how a team's winning percentage is translated into the odds of winning a pick.
