You’re comparing the time before the first game to the time after,
Should be the time before the camping trip to the time after.

Yeah which is why I posted it.
It’s counter intuitive.
Your team is down by a game, with up to 6 left to play. You come back and your team is still down by a game but only 4 left.
Seems like you’re in a worse position, less opportunity to catch up. But your odds are unchanged.
