The only thing I can say with any kind of authority when it comes to the playoffs in OOTP, teams down 3-0 in seven games series win at a much higher rate than what is historically accurate. This is either because even in MLB history, the sample size we have is too small and so OOTP actually models it more correctly or, there is more to overcome for a team being down 3-0 than OOTP can properly model. It is possible that being down 3-0 is one of the few spots where morale or momentum plays such a large part of the equation that OOTP undervalues it. Either way, in terms of teams winning or losing series compared to real life, that's the only obvious discrepancy I've seen.
